New Delhi (India) - HTC Corporation (TAIEX: 2498; “HTC”), the world's leading
provider of Microsoft® Windows Mobile® smart devices, today launched the HTC
Touch Cruise™, the third member of the HTC Touch product family and the
first to feature built-in GPS for personal navigation. Building on the
popularity of the HTC Touch™, and the HTC Touch Dual™, the HTC
Touch Cruise also includes the HSDPA wireless connectivity. Users on the
move will easily be able to interact with the HTC Touch Cruise’s
navigation functionality and can take advantage of HTC’s
TouchFLO™ technology, which enhances finger
touch scrolling and browsing of web pages, documents, messages and contact
lists, controlled by simply sweeping a finger across the screen. TouchFLO also offers the ability to view photos and photo
slideshows using on-screen controls and to zoom and rotate images with only
one hand. Stylish and
sleek in design, the HTC Touch Cruise comes in Black Sapphire and is a
further illustration of HTC’s commitment to
innovation and to building a suite of touchscreen
devices that cater to a variety of customer needs and styles. The HTC
Home™ screen provides one-touch access to emails, text messages,
calendar appointments and contacts as well as current weather conditions and
forecasts for many cities around the world. Users can then 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. The new Touch
Cruise boasts of super fast HSDPA connectivity plus Wi-Fi®
and Bluetooth®, making it a highly connected device for consumers on the
move. Its 2.8” screen is great for enjoying mobile multimedia and
because it runs on Windows Mobile 6 Professional, the built-in Windows Media
Player is ideal for music and movies. |
