HTC Touch has launched in Hong Kong June 14, 2007 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R. Starting today HTC Touch is available also in Hong Kong. More information from HTC Asia (formerly known as Dopod Asia) follows. * * * * * * HTC Touch Unleashes Your Innate Sense of Touch HTC smartphone signals new direction in finger touch navigation HTC announced the launch of the HTC Touch, a deceptively small and stylish mobile phone that ushers in an innovative new concept in intuitive touch screen navigation, with Hong Kong CSL Limited (“CSL”) as its sole distributor in Hong Kong. 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 HTC’s 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 can 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 up. That ends today with the HTC Touch.” At the announcement of CSL’s first ever partnership with HTC, Hubert Ng, chief executive officer of CSL, commented, “At HTC’s debut in the Hong Kong market, CSL is delighted to be the sole distributor of the innovative HTC Touch. The device works on CSL’s quality EDGE network and is ideal for our messaging services such as email and Mobile MSN. We are looking forward to more cooperation between the two companies in the future, so that together we can address the needs of the market with exciting new mobile devices that fulfil the promise of the mobile lifestyle.” Smart, stylish and versatile, the HTC Touchf brings together a wide variety of communication, entertainment and professional capabilities that enable mobile consumers to balance work and play. The new HTC-designed Today screen 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. The HTC Touch 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 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 panning of Web pages, documents, messages and contact lists. Leveraging the broad functionality of Windows Mobile 6 Professional, the HTC Touch includes Outlook Mobile, Office Mobile, Windows Live and the capabilities to run thousands of third-party applications. Users can surf the web with Internet Explorer, send and receive emails, chat on Messenger and send files to their own Web space through Windows Live. Other HTC Touch details include:
The HTC Touch will be available later this month [June 2007] with a suggested retail price of HKD3,680. Original source of this story and more information can be found here. Credit: Francis Fong.
