Reported on Commercial Times newspaper in Taiwan, HTC will only start to ship its Android G1 google smartphone in first half of 2009. For those who live in Asia, it means you might need to wait another 6 months more till you see your local service providers rolling out the Android smartphone by HTC.

This month, HTC has just started to sell its new HTC Touch 3G and Touch HD smartphones in many different regions. The Taiwan-based company will sell the Touch HD by the end of this year in Taiwan.
