TOKYO, Sept 10 (Reuters) - Taiwanese handset maker High Tech Computer (HTC) Corp (2498.TW) aims to expand sales in Japan through the launch of its products in the coming months by second-ranked carrier KDDI Corp (9433.T) and No. 4 EAccess Ltd (9427.T).

KDDI will introduce HTC's Touch Pro sometime after April to beef up its line-up for corporate clients, industry sources said on Wednesday. It would be the first time for KDDI to sell HTC products or so-called smartphones that combine functions of cellphones and computers.

EMobile, the mobile unit of EAccess, announced the previous day that it would launch the Touch Diamond in October. The Diamond is often compared to Apple Inc's (AAPL.O) iPhone for its touch panel and interface.

HTC already sells products in Japan through industry leader NTT DoCoMo Inc (9437.T), No. 3 Softbank Corp (9984.T) and EAccess. (Reporting by Sachi Izumi; Editing by Chris Gallagher)
