Rumours: Lenovo looking to buy HTC since August?

The latest rumblings on the web suggest that Lenovo, the largest PC maker, have been in discussion with HTC with the intent to buy. HTC, like Nokia is taking flack from several fronts. Their WP offerings demolished by Nokia, who themselves have been facing difficulty and their Android line devoured by Sammy.

This is merely based on meetings between HTC and Lenovo execs. Perhaps it could be something else. Perhaps not. Unlike the Nokia Devices and Services sale, Lenovo are apparently looking to keep the HTC brand for smartphones and not merely ‘dispose’ of it. Well that’s not entirely fair on the Nokia thing as it seems more from Nokia’s end that Microsoft cannot use the Nokia brand on Smartphones. Moreover, whilst HTC could be completely owned by Lenovo, Nokia remains its own entity with HERE Maps, NSN and Advanced Tech research.
