Taiwanese smartphone vendor HTC Corp. could see shipments fall additional than 16 % from the third quarter as its market share drops in the U.S. and Europe over the fourth quarter, a research statement predicted yesterday.
Taiwan based advisory firm TrendForce Corp. said the likely drop in shipments reflects the smartphone vendor's failure to launch new products in recent months other than its initial 'phablet,' the 5.9-inch HTC One max.
TrendForce's survey indicated HTC will likely ship 5.2 million smartphones during the October December period, a drop of 16.2 % from a quarter before and a huge decline of 40 % from the same period last year.

Asustek Computer Inc., one of the world's leading personal computer vendors, is planning to launch new notebook computer models in the United States in September in a bid to stir up buying in the current slow world PC market.
In an investor conference held Friday, Asustek Chief Executive Officer Jerry Shen said that the PC vendor will team up with U.S.-based Microsoft Corp. and Intel Corp. to introduce the new models to consumers.
Shen said the efforts to unveil new products next month aim not only to grasp a higher market share but as well boost world request and enlarge the pie in the world's PC market.
