(InfoWorld) - High Tech ComputerÂ (HTC) celebrated its 10th anniversary on Thursday with a rare compliment from Apple: the company adopted the same name HTC uses on one of its smartphones for the iPod Touch. HTC, the Taiwanese handset and PDA (personal digital assistant) maker, earlier this year launched the HTC Touch, a Microsoft Windows Mobile 6 Professional OS smartphone designed with one-touch screen features, viewed by many as a rival to the iPhone. Upon hearing of the name of the new iPod, HTC president and CEO Peter Chou said, "HTC Touch is a trademark, but I can't comment right now," on whether HTC might file suit against the company. Apple's use of the moniker, however, proves it's a good product name, he added. Apple launched the iPod TouchÂ Wednesday. The digital music player sports a 3.5-inch wide-screen display, and Wi-Fi capabilities so users can connect to the Internet. The device will be priced at $299 for an 8GB model and $399 for the 16GB version. The touch will go on sale in a few weeks. HTC is the largest maker of mobile devices based on Microsoft Windows operating systems, and its focus on a 2.8-inch touch screen in the HTC Touch is similar to Apple's emphasis on touch screen features in its iPhone. TheÂ HTC Touch beat the iPhone to marketÂ by a few weeks back in June, but theÂ iPhone was unveiledÂ much earlier, at MacWorld Jan. 9. A trademark lawyer in Taipei, speaking on condition of anonymity, said descriptive words normally can't be trademarked, but added that if the HTC Touch and the iPod touch share similar functions, such as allowing users to play digital music, then Apple may face a legal hassle. The HTC Touch does allow for digital music storage and playing. Â
