Touch delivers new touch screen experience
Monday, July 16, 2007

HTC, the world’s leading provider of Microsoft Windows Mobile-based smart devices globally launched HTC Touch, a deceptively small and stylish mobile PDA-phone that brings in an innovative concept in intuitive touch screen navigation. The HTC Touch delivers a new level of simplicity to the powerful and function-rich device experience that today’s mobile consumers demand.

The latest HTC model’s edge over other mobile devices is that it offers a new and unique way of controlling touched screen-based devices by recognizing and responding to the sweep of a finger across the screen—yes, similar to the Apple iPhone. It is the first device to feature TouchFLO, the new underlying touch screen technology developed by HTC. Consumers simply sweep their finger up the display to launch an animated, three-dimensional interface. TouchFLO also enhances finger touch scrolling and browsing of Web pages, documents, messages and contact lists.

“With the HTC Touch, access to your most commonly used content, contacts and features is only a simple finger flick away,” said Peter Chou, CEO, HTC. “ Mobile phone makers have done a great job of cramming ever-more exciting features into even-smaller phones. But the way in which one accesses these increasingly sophisticated features has not kept pace. That ends today with the HTC Touch.”

Having the broad functionality of Windows Mobile 6 Professional, the HTC Touch include essential MS Office applications and the capabilities to run thousands of third-party software. Users can also surf the Web, send and receive e-mails and chat online. It also has a built-in 2.0 mega-pixel digital camera.
