HTC's Answer to the iPhone - HTC Touch

HTC Corp., the world's leading provider of Microsoft Windows Mobile-based smart devices has announced the global launch of the much anticipated HTC Touch. The new HTC Touch is a very small and stylish PDAPhone that brings a new concept in intuitive screen navigation to market... just before the iPhone hits the streets. 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.

The HTC Touch is the first device to feature TouchFLO, the new underlying touch screen technology developed by HTC. The user simply sweeps their finger up the display to launch an animated, three-dimensional interface comprising three screens: Contacts, Media and Applications. The interface can be spun by swiping a finger right or left across the display, providing efficient access to the features consumers use most. TouchFLO also enhances finger touch scrolling and browsing of Web pages, documents, messages and contact lists.
