Taipei, Taiwan - June 26, 2012- HTC
Corporation, a global leader in mobile innovation and design,
today announced its HTC Connect™ certification program
designed to offer consumer electronics manufacturers the
opportunity to create an improved sound and visual standard
for seamless connectivity between HTC® devices and consumer
electronics. For consumers, HTC Connect will mean
high-quality, wireless audio and video sent through their HTC
smartphones to their compatible in-home and in-car
electronics.
Smartphones are changing the way individuals listen to
music and watch video, making it easier than ever before to
enjoy rich multimedia content almost anywhere. HTC is working
to bring the benefits and ease-of-use of mobile connected
devices into the home through the HTC Connect initiative. HTC
Connect certification introduces new connectivity standards
for partners, and gives consumers using an HTC Connect
certified device a new level of convenience through seamless
integration with their other compatible consumer electronics.
The HTC One™ series of smartphones is slated to receive HTC
Connect certification through a software update in the coming
months.
"The vision for HTC Connect is to allow our
customers to easily stream their favorite high-quality video
and audio from their smartphone into their home or car. This
new initiative will build upon HTC's innovation in
smartphones with leading consumer electronics brands,"
said Kouji Kodera, chief product officer, HTC Corporation.
"We're also excited to announce Pioneer Electronics,
a leader in the audio and video industry, as our first
partner to demonstrate the initial HTC Connect certified
audio experience for consumers."
