The Pass
How could HTC be chosen and get the recommendation from Microsoft? The reason was that HTC’s introduction of its new PDA has deeply amazed Microsoft.
That was a time when the technique wasn’t very good in Microsoft. There were many questions that Microsoft hadn’t solved, but many big companies had already started to research in this direction. However, HTC was able to integrate hardware and software successfully. The technology and determination of HTC really impressed Microsoft.
In March, 1998, in the world’s biggest Consumer Electronics Show, Bill Gates couldn’t wait to show everyone the world’s first PDA with Microsoft system.
A month later, this PDA got the authentication from NSTL. This became the world’s first PDA that was fully made for Microsoft.
Having the authentication from NSTL, HTC finally found its spot in the ODM Market and went into the PDA market successfully.
