Though the firm -- known by most as the world's foremost Windows Mobile powerhouse -- admits that component supplies are tight, it says that it has secured all the stuff it needs to keep its own production humming along at full steam.&quot;</em></font></p><p><img alt="" border="1" src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/500/spt/auto/1199322183.usr6.jpg" /></p><p>At the rate HTC cranks out new devices I'm not surprised they are drying up chip sources. OK I'm being sarcastic here but it is almost impossible to keep up with the variety, let alone the names, of all of HTC's toys. I think the next shortage they might encounter&nbsp;will be&nbsp;a name shortage! </p>
