Windows-Based iPhone Rival for Business Users

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the anything-you-can-do-i-can-do-too dept.

MsManhattan writes "High Tech Computer Corp. (HTC) has unveiled a touch-screen mobile device that offers many of the same features as the iPhone but with an emphasis on business applications vs. entertainment value. The HTC Touch is based on Microsoft's Windows Mobile 6 Professional OS and features a 2.8-inch touch screen offering access to emails, contacts and appointments. But unlike the iPhone, which will feature large internal flash memory capacity for music and movie storage, the HTC Touch offers a microSD drive, and a 1G-byte microSD card comes with the handset."

    ...this plays straight into the whole "Hi, I'm a Mac. And I'm a PC" ads. In fact, it fits so well it smells like a joke.

    "iPhone is to much fun to get work done. We must have a windows-based 'business' equivalent."

    Please. Enough already.

    You misspelled "iPhone Killer"...

    And since it isn't even out yet, I guess that would be an iPhone Aborter.

    Windows Mobile, because who ever said that only desktop devices should have to be hard-rebooted on a daily basis?

    You are right. There is no need for Yes/No on Windows Mobile where the only REAL option is: "Execute text message as code? Yes / Yes"
