The HTC Touch: Is it really the iPhone killer?

Hot on the mobile phone market at the moment is the Touch, HTC's answer to the Apple iPhone, but is it really the so-called iPhone killer?

This Windows Mobile device boasts a revolutionary new TouchFLO Platform, a new touch screen technology that enables both finger and stylus input, including finger scrolling and panning. TouchFLO's Touch Cube 3-d interface gives you one touch access to your messages, the Internet, music, pictures and more, simply by sliding or sweeping your thumb on the screen, which surprisingly looks quite amazing.

The Touch is the smallest Windows Mobile PDA phone in its class (99.9mm (L) X 58mm (W) X 13.9mm (T)), even smaller than a typical business card holder.

This sleek little mobile is a universal GSM/GPRS/EDGE Tri-band phone, with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Internet sharing capabilities. The Touch also a packs a reasonable 2.0 megapixel camera in its tiny shell.

Time will only tell whether this phone really fares better than the iPhone. We'll all just have to wait until the iPhone is finally released and only then will we be able to compare the two. One good thing about this cool gadget though is, unlike the iPhone, it's already reached our Bruneian shores..
