Smartphones by Dre
Dr. Dre hat mit dem Handyhersteller HTC einen Vertrag über ein Volumen von 300 Millionen Dollar geschlossen.   
Das Smartphone soll bereits in den nächsten Wochen erscheinen, sagte Dr. Dre im Interview mit Global Grind.com . Seine Pläne erklärt Dr. Dre in dem Interview noch ausführlicher: 

"I am trying to build my electronics company, Beats Electronics . We just signed a major deal with HTC and we have cell phones coming out in the next two weeks. I am involved in Chrysler ; we are in cars right now. My whole thing is to take over everything with a speaker. That is what I am shooting for. The phone will be on Verizon and, like I said, it is going to be out in the next 2 weeks. [...] I am trying to be number 2 to Apple , and number 2 to Apple is not a bad position to be in." Der HTC Vorstandvorsitzende erklärt den Hintergrund zum Deal mit Dre so: "Audio is key to us right now. It's our belief that a good sound experience is key when using a mobile phone."
