HTC reports strong Q2 2010 numbers; thank you, Android

While HTC is not strictly an Android shop, they have to thanking Android for these sales numbers. After all, Windows Mobile market share continues to drop (although the HTC HD2 was a surprise WM hit).

BestCarrierDeals.comIn April, HTC said they expected to take in $1.6 billion in second quarter 2010 revenue. On Tuesday, the company announced that they surpassed those estimates, with $1.88 billion in revenue, instead. That is a 63 percent gain in revenue year-over-year.

Meanwhile, profits were $268 million. That is HTC's highest reported quarterly profit since it reported a $309 million profit in Q4 2007. However, that was before Taiwanese companies started to treat employee bonuses as expenses.

While WM continues to drop, Android continues to rise. Google recently said 160,000 Android phones were lighting up daily, and a large portion of those are HTC devices. Some of the HTC Android phones which are current hits include the Droid Incredible, the EVO 4G, and the Nexus One.
