The Android Effect On HTC (GOOG)

It took phone maker HTC about a year to figure out how to make a great Android smartphone, but when it finally got it right, it paid off big time.
The turning point seems to have come right around when it partnered with Google to manufacture the Nexus One. The Nexus One, Google’s first branded handset, was a flop from a sales perspective.
But, HTC must have learned a thing or two from working with Google. The phones that followed — the EVO, and DROID Incredible — were big hits sending HTC’s profits soaring.

When the iPad was first announced by Apple, ad people moaned that without Flash many websites would lose a valuable source of revenue.
Ian Schafer, CEO of marketing agency Deep Focus, wrote “ads are almost 100% rendered in Adobe‘s Flash.” Because Apple wouldn’t support Flash, it would be screwing web publishers.
Turns out that’s not exactly true. New data from comScore reveals that just 40% of ads on the web are based on Flash or Rich Media. Plain old images in the form of jpegs are just as popular. And those jpegs show up anywhere.
