HTC Releases the HTC Touch

[Dale Ahn]

HTC has taken the Elf and made it into the next generation Pocket PC. Taking after the iPhone’s touch abilities the HTC Touch allows much better finger usage on its touch screen to allow easier navigation through HTC’s new TouchFLO interface.

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.
