HTC is a pretty established player
in the smartphone market - it has been around for 10 years and is widely considered
to be the market leader when it comes to Windows Mobile handsets, with a wide
variety of designs available. One
problem that HTC have had is that fundamentally, all their phones are very similar.
Yes - you can add 3G, WiFi, keyboards, touchscreens and even GPS and then mix
the ingredients around, but underneath they're all constrained somewhat by the
fact that they run Windows. So,
the HTC Touch (codenamed the HTC Elf and also known as the HTC P3450) represents
a new departure. Instead of supply the Touch with a standard Windows Mobile implementation,
they've chosen to do something a little different. Using a technology called TouchFLO™,
HTC have made the Touch very much easier to control with a finger rather than
a stylus. The Touch automatically distinguished between a stylus and a finger
- the user simply sweeps their finger across the display and the Touch comes up
with an elegant interface that is specially optimised for this type of use. HTC
say that it is "an animated, three-dimensional interface... the interface
can be spun by swiping a finger right or left across the display.. TouchFLO also
enhances finger touch scrolling and browsing of Web pages, documents, messages
and contact lists". Looks
familiar? Well, yes the Apple iPhone has a similar interface.. as does the LG
Prada. This is the first time that we've seen such an interface on a Windows phone
though.. and one advantage that the HTC Touch has over the competition will be
its ability to run Windows Mobile application. Network:
