Well isn't this a surprise, Nokia? HTC's just posted their profits for Q3 of 2010, and not only are they almost double those of Q3 2009, they are, in no small part, due to Android, according to RBS analyst Steven Tseng.
That's right - the company has posted profits of T$11.1 billion, or about $360 million, for the months of July, August, and September. By ways of comparison, last year's Q3 profits were a mere T$5.695 billion, or about half of this year's profits. Additionally, HTC's stock has risen to T$719, up from T$264.69 in February. Boring? Sure, but hopefully this will teach HTC that they don't have to cripple their devices to be successful.
