Though HTC’s Touch Diamond and Touch Pro smartphones may have been stylistically well-received, the company’s flagship G1 proves that the company still has a long way to go to master fashionable design. The Taiwanese company took a major step in rectifying that on Wednesday with the acquisition of One & Company Design, Inc., a design firm based in San Francisco.
One & Co. has worked with a number of other high-profile consumer electronics companies in the past, including Apple, Dell, Motorola, Plantronics, and Sony. It’s also responsible for HTC’s own iconic Touch Diamond, which its designers dreamed up back in 2006 in its first collaboration with the company.
