hTc, recently ranked by Business Week as number four in its list of Asias best-performing companies, is a producer of Windows Mobile-based Smartphones. It is the manufacturer behind many OEM-branded devices, supplying operators around the globe, and has recently started marketing smartphones and Pocket PC devices under its own label.

Leaf Wireless will no longer be distributing i-mate devices, which were one of the OEM-branded ranges manufactured by hTc.
 
Quinton Leigh, MD of Leaf Wireless, says: The Windows Mobile platform is a fast-growing market, as more and more businesses and individuals standardise on it for the compatibility it offers with their office systems, and the productivity and ease of use that goes with the familiar Windows look and feel on their mobile devices. Leaf has a strong and long-standing commitment to the Microsoft platform.
