Zum Thema Release:
"The announcement marks the first time that HTC has introduced an HTC product globally, and comes almost exactly a year after the company launched its first own-branded products in June 2006. The HTC Touch™ will also be the first HTC-branded product to be sold in Asia. The HTC Touch™ will be available to customers across Europe and Asia this month, beginning today in the United Kingdom.
The HTC Touch™ will be initially available to Orange customers in the UK, France, Spain and the Netherlands.
Yves Maitre, VP Devices, Orange, says “We are delighted to be first to launch this innovative new smartphone, which will open the door to widespread use of touch screen devices. Orange has the widest portfolio of Microsoft smartphones and was the first operator to launch a Windows 6.0 device. This latest addition cements Orange’s position as the leading operator in the smartphone market. Orange and HTC have a heritage of innovating with new types of smartphone and the HTC Touch™ is a great example of this.”
T-Mobile will launch a customised version of the device which will be named the MDA Touch across key European markets. The innovative and strong multi-media feature set of the MDA Touch will be a powerful fit to T-Mobile’s “web’n’walk” proposition."
Zum Thema TouchFLO™:
What’s TouchFLO™?
• TouchFLO™ is an exciting new way of controlling the operation of a touch screen device. Unlike other touch screen devices, TouchFLO™ responds to movement, recognising the sweep of your finger up, down, left or right on the screen. It distinguishes finger input from stylus input and then responds accordingly.
• Users 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™ is also used to open and close menus, move from one screen to another, scroll though contacts lists and move documents and web pages.
• TouchFLO™ delivers additional functionality throughout the device’s operation. It is central to the way in which the HTC-designed interfaces are controlled, and is also available to support all Windows Mobile functions as well as the operation of on-board applications.
• The HTC Touch™ also comes with a stylus for more detailed work, to action the on-screen keyboard, or to use as a pen for writing, drawing or handwriting recognition.
