HTC Magic selling better than G1

The world's second Android phone, the HTC Magic is selling very well, according to HTC CEO Peter Chou, who says the phone is set to hit 1 million sold by next month, taking half the time its predecessor the T-Mobile G1 did to hit the milestone.

The phone was launched by Vodafone in May, and will soon be available in China and the US, as the MyTouch 3G, expanding its possible consumer base by massive amounts.



As Android grows in popularity, Chou says HTC plans to release a third phone, the HTC Hero but there are no release plans on that phone as of yet.
