"Gigabyte Technology is attempting to expand its business from motherboards to non-motherboard product lines, including own-brand notebooks and mobile phones, according to company chairman Dandy Yeh. Contribution from the own-brand segment should help the motherboard maker’s profits improve in the third quarter and then take off in 2006, said Yeh. The company plans to introduce 4-5 models, including one Microsoft-based smartphone, by the end of this year"

Just one MS based Smartphone? Well it is good to see another player here. I wonder what will come out of this though.

It's always nice to see another manufacturer join the WM camp. I'm very anxious to see what cool new designs others can offer. 8)

I used their motherboards before and they didn't give me any trouble, so I hope they can hold the same quality with their phones.
