HTC Touch Delivers New Touch Screen Experience

the world’s
leading provider of Microsoft® Windows Mobile®-based smart devices, today
announced the global launch of the HTC Touch™, a deceptively small and stylish
mobile phone that ushers in an innovative new concept in intuitive touch screen
navigation. The HTC Touch™ brings a new level of simplicity to the powerful and
function-rich device experience that today’s mobile consumers demand.
Building on its rich ten year history of mobile phone innovations, the HTC Touch™
represents extensive research and development and the conviction that fingertip control
will enable more efficient, natural and intuitive touch screen navigation. The
groundbreaking HTC Touch™ offers a new and unique way of controlling touch
screen-based devices by recognising and responding to the sweep of a finger across
the screen. It is even intelligent enough to distinguish between finger and stylus input
and then respond accordingly.
“With the HTC Touch™, access to your most commonly used content, contacts and
features is only a simple finger flick away,” said Peter Chou, Chief Executive Officer of
HTC. “Mobile phone makers have done a great job of cramming ever-more exciting
features into ever-smaller phones. But the way in which one accesses these
increasingly sophisticated features has not kept pace. That ends today with the HTC
Touch.”
Smart, stylish and versatile, the HTC Touch™ brings together a wide variety of
communication, entertainment and professional capabilities that enable mobile
consumers to balance work and play. The new HTC-designed homescreen provides
one-touch access to emails, text messages, calendar appointments and contacts, as
well as current weather conditions and forecasts for hundreds of cities around the world.
