Kevin Chen, general manager, HTC Middle East, Africa and CIS, said: "Saudi Arabia is presently one of our most important markets for smart phones and personal digital assistants because of its excellent growth potential. GITEX Saudi Arabia 2008 provides the perfect platform for us to increase awareness about the technological superiority of our products, which have already established a strong presence in the Saudi market.
