HTC has just issued another official statement regarding the HTC One delayed (http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_one_launch_delayed_due_to_component_shortage-news-5725.php) launch.
A few markets will get HTC One (http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_one-5313.php) on time after all - the United Kingdom, Germany and Taiwan will be lucky enough to get the HTC flagship next week.
The rest of the world will have to wait though. HTC promises to bring the One to Europe, North America and most of the Asia-Pacific countries before the end of April. This means the HTC One will lose its headstart before the Galaxy S4.
Here is the official HTC statement:
"HTC has seen unprecedented demand for and interest in the new HTC One, and the care taken to design and build it is evidenced in early reviews. The new HTC One will roll out in the UK, Germany and Taiwan next week and across Europe, North America and most of Asia-Pacific before the end of April. We appreciate our customers
