Jason Mackenzie, president of HTC America, took to Twitter this morning to let followers know the company was going to be making a “BIG” announcement regarding the U.S. market. For those working on their tourney brackets, the odds probably favor this being an announcement about availability. If HTC is able to provide a specific date, that would be welcome news, especially after the apparent snafu they have experienced launching the device in their home market of Taiwan.

For those of you looking for an upset to bust up a bracket, Mackenzie's emphasis on the word “big” could be alluding to the HTC One M9 Plus. That device supposedly will be limited to the Chinese market according to many rumors. Mackenzie did tag his tweet with HTCOneM9, so the possibility of a Plus related announcement is a long shot.
