HTC Unveils iPhone-Like Touch

by Terrence O'Brien on June 6, 2007 at 03:31 PM




From the iPhone to Microsoft's Surface, devices with touchscreen interfaces are all the rage these days. Now HTC, known for making top notch Windows Mobile phones like the T-Mobile Wing, is adding its own twist on the touchscreen boom with Touch Flo technology.

Touch Flo is a gesture-based input technology, which means you don't simply tap icons and buttons with your finger or stylus, but instead move your finger up and down or left to right to launch and close programs, switch menus, and the like. (When all is said and done, though, it sounds not that different from any other touchscreen, but we'll get back to you after we've tried it out in person.)

Otherwise the Windows Mobile 6 phone is standard smartphone fare, 2.8 inch color screen, 2-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi and EDGE.

Coming out in Asia and Europe this summer, the phone will be re-branded and released later this year on T-Mobile in the U.S.
