To further enhance its competitive advantages, the Group has also continued to enhance its R&D capabilities, fostered the strategic cooperation with major telecommunications operators around the world, and continued to expand in the emerging markets.

This sponsorship arrangement will further boost the global image of ALCATEL ONE TOUCH brand.

To strengthen its penetration into both low to mid-end and high-end markets, the Group has stepped up its R&D efforts in 3G Android smartphones and tablet. In July, the Group launched its first tablet, TCL Pad16 / ALCATEL ONE TOUCH T60. With its highly flexible customization feature, the tablet provides a wide range of intimate functions which suite the demands of worldwide customers.

The Group continued to develop its business in China. In June, the Group participated in the E-Surfing 3G Internet Cellphone Fair, which was held in Guangzhou. Backed by the huge success of its CDMA products in overseas market, the Group demonstrated the innovative image of TCL and ALCATEL ONE TOUCH and received overwhelming response. With this first step to enter the CDMA market in China in the second half of this year, the Group will launch a series of marketing campaign in the coming future in order to consolidate its corporate image.
