Modest HTC
Strapped to Android, HTC Takes a Dizzying Ride to the Top:
“We are the second or the third best design house in the world when it comes to mobile phones,” says Horace Luke, chief innovation officer at HTC. “The trick of design is it is not just styling but also great engineering.”
This statement seems remarkably modest and down to earth, especially compared to the overconfidence Redmond’s mobile division keeps bandying about.
I also found this interesting:
HTC’s R&D division has a “target failure rate” of 95 percent, says Luke. “A research lab has to come up with enough ideas that fail fast and fail early so you can learn and harvest the right ones,” he says.
