Windows-Based iPhone Rival for Business Users

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."

HTC is why I'm unexcited about the iPhone. by argent · 2007-06-05 05:03 · Score: 0, Redundant

That, and my experience with the Macbook Pro and its embroyonic multi-touch support.

Multi-touch is a poor replacement for real keys and buttons, and real buttons is what the HTC phone and the iPhone both lack. Multitouch might make the iPhone might suck slightly less than the HTC device, but anyone who's really interested in getting a good cellphone... as opposed to a poor-to-middling PDA with a cellphone in it... would be well advised to look elsewhere.
