(InfoWorld) - One of Taiwan's largest mobile phone network operators launched the popular BlackBerry service Thursday, continuing Research In MotionÂ (RIM)'s expansion into Asia. Taiwan became the 17th country in Asia-Pacific to adopt the BlackBerry, but the service could face stiff opposition on an island full of companies loyal to Microsoft. The robust PC industry in Taiwan depends mainly on Microsoft for its Windows OS and other software. The largest handset maker backing the Microsoft Windows Mobile OS is also from Taiwan, High Tech Computer Corp. (HTC) Still, Taiwan Mobile Co. launched BlackBerry with theÂ aim of attracting Taiwanese businessÂ and individual users to RIM's community of more than 5.5 million global BlackBerry users through push mail and other data delivery services, including BlackBerry Internet Service. The company is initially offering the BlackBerry 7290 and BlackBerry 8700g, and will expand to other products as the market develops. Taiwanese users can type in Chinese characters via the QWERTY keypads on both BlackBerry handsets, but the two input methods offered, Pinyin and Cangjie, are not as popular on the island as locally developed Zhuyin. The difference is important for simplicity and ease-of-use. Prior to the development of Chinese input methods, typical Chinese computers required several keyboards each with hundreds of keys, forcing users to switch keyboards several times while they worked. Taiwan Mobile said it already had over 160 companies interested in using the new service. The mobile network operator plans to work with them to enable their employees to access email and other corporate data with BlackBerry Enterprise Server. One company hoping to spoil the show for Taiwan Mobile and BlackBerry is Chunghwa Telecom Co., Taiwan's largest network operator. The companyÂ teamed up with HTCÂ to develop a smartphone that runs push e-mail via Windows Mobile 5.0 and Outlook Mobile, the CHT9000.

Taiwan smartphone maker High Tech Computer (HTC) said on Wednesday it will launch 10 new PDAs and smartphones using chips from U.S.-based Qualcomm Inc by the end of the year.

(InfoWorld) - Taiwan's High Tech Computer (HTC), the world's largest developer of smartphones that use Microsoft software, plans to launch more thanÂ 10 mobile phones and PDAs (personal digital assistants) armed withÂ Qualcomm chipsÂ by the end of this year, the companies said Wednesday. HTC is the first company to launch smartphones based on Qualcomm's latest chip sets, the dual-core Mobile Station Modem (MSM) MSM7500. The company will use another chip set in the family, the MSM7200, in several of the Qualcomm-based handsets it plans to release by the end of this year. HTC has been working with Qualcomm for years, and its technology is already inside the HTC Mogul and Titan II handsets, said Peter Chou, the CEO of HTC, at a news conference in Taipei. The company has aimed some of the handsets at the U.S. market, but it shouldn't run into any problems from anÂ import ban related to certain Qualcomm chips, said Paul Jacobs, CEO of Qualcomm, at the news conference. The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC)Â banned the import of new models of phones and PDAsÂ that hit the market after June 7 and contain certain Qualcomm chips, as the result of aÂ patent infringement disputeÂ between Qualcomm and rival Broadcom. Some companies have foundÂ ways to work around the import banÂ through licenses with Broadcom. Verizon Wireless last month agreed to pay Broadcom $6 for every handset, PDA (personal digital assistant) or data card that uses the mobile broadband technology at the heart of the dispute, EV-DO (Evolution-Data Optimized). Jacobs also said his company remains in discussions with Broadcom over the issue and he expects to reach a deal at some point. "Broadcom wants to be in the chipset business, so they'll need some licenses from us," he said. Â
