HTC Touch or Elf with new 3D sweep interface
31 Jan 2010 // 26 comments // Mobile Development News
Published by Phelipe Hamoui www.techguru.com.br Previously known as the Elf, the HTC Touch is the next generation in the Taiwanese company’s line of Windows Mobile phones. The Touch takes Windows Mobile 6—which is already pretty usable—and integrates what everyone’s fawning over the iphone and the Prada for: finger touching. The base OS is still the same Windows Mobile 6, but on top, htc’s added touchflo, their own touchscreen app. It can tell whether you’re using your stylus or your finger, and if you’re using your finger, you can activate a “three-dimensional interface” with “three screens” made up of your contacts, your media, and your apps. It’s hard to tell what this involves exactly until we get a hands on, but it sounds like a fancy 3D menu system on the top level that you can spin around by swiping your finger horizontally. new HTC-styled home screen that replaces the Today screen which lets you access your email, text messages, calendar, contacts, and weather.

Because the HTC Touch came out way before the iPhone. How exactly is that copying? It was the iPhone who failed to be “revolutionary”.
Very nice video and nice. On my website you can use mobile search to search for any mobile phone rec info and promotions. Just go to my profile to access my site. Very nice video.
So, what about Visual Basic, .Net, Java and so on?
You think you cant write your own Windows Mobile programs?
And besides, do you own a HTC Touch?
If not, i own…
And my HTC Touch is powerful than a Iphone, more integrated, much much smaller, and has got the same surf and music and video abilitys than the Iphone.
I think you should test the HTC Touch and see what it is about.
I testet the Iphone too and because of the abilitys and the Price my decision was the HTC…
Oh wow… Sorry, you can actually get the iPhone SDK now and not only install hundreds of various applications on the iPhone, but if you want, you can just write your own app, and even make money off of it.
Everyone knows the HTC Touch sucks, regardless of the iPhone’s features. HTC hasn’t revolutionized anything about the touch screen interface.
Also, Apple didn’t steal the idea from HTC or whatever… Steve Jobs had been working on the first iPhone more than two years before it came out.
quake1991 is idiot , retard and loser. don’t listen to him/her
I like to feel sexy….knowing someone is watching me ..wanting me…turns me on!BADLY! I like to flirt and pose..and sometimes i like to get WILD! how? ..he he..come in video and youll see:-)) maybe u can teach me something..or maybe i will ! come visit me at MeetYourFling * COM my user-id there is natasha-onxg chat soon on cam

ok… show me how you can install third party programs on ya fucking iphone without hacking someting…
else, the windows mobile powered devices are more integrated to the world than the iphone…
the main conversation could be:
“woha, my iphone has a multitouch display!”
and the windows mobile guy:
“i can install any programm i want, can sync with my pc, can use any theme i want, have a more powerful device – and your iphone sucks” =P
fuckin apple fanboy =P
‘or even calling people’ wow !
I find it funny. HTC have been making phones like this for years. of course the iphone made the realisation that people didnt want business like interfaces, they wanted a finger friendly and fun interface.
This came out BEFORE the iphone.
You know that HTC Touch is cheaper, and is much easier to get (in Sweden).
And HTC Touch have Windows Mobile 6.0.
check that, my tytnII supports up to 32g micro.they don’t even make them yet.

Did anybody listen to the “three main ways it’s different”??
1) “Smallest fully functional device on the market.”
Sorry, my iPhone is thinner than the RAZR closed, and it’s damn sexy, and I don’t feel like I’m gonna break it.
2)”It’s a very natural and intuitive user interface”
WTF? No multi-touch! Its “intuitive interface” is just a cheap imitation of the iPhone.
3) Has everything in one device.
Like? Music, photos, email, like the iPhone, just watered down.
HTC Touch = Crappy Wannabe
Sucks!
2.-I don^t understand argument, HTC is for Productivity and the point here is that iphone is not a PDA…Maybe Touch isnt the best Smartphone but there are many options like N95 8GB, HTC Tytn II, Shift, Advantage… There is not place for iPhone in this world of TITANS…Maybe u must try to search phones at your level like Prada ^cos i see that you don^t know anything about MOBILE PRODUCTIVITY.
1.- “Iphone is much than Mp3 Player” so… What are u trying to say…Its another ipod?… There is no 3G in Iphone (ohh sorry), No GPS, No good Camera, it Freezes every day, Youre limited to 4 & 8 GB (Actual PDAs Supports SDHC Cards up to 8 Gb) ….
You are right when you say here is not comparison between HTC Touch and iPhone, I have both, HTC crashes all the time, yes you can add programs, bt they don’t have processor enough to run, NO MULTI TOUCH SCREEN (Should have since the name is “touch”), no good camera, no GPS, no memory (iphone has 8G), yes the Touch is a kinda PDA< but the iPhone is much more than MP3 Player (and the HTC Touch, don’t run properly MP3 musics
iPhone doesn´t work like PDA properly, iPhone is only a Mp3 Player with Phone… there is not comparison between HTC Touch and iPhone
This is so cheesy. Really … cheesy … and a mediocre product, sorry.
What exactly did it copy? The Multitouch interface? Stop talking out of your ass.
I like this phone, but I don’T understand, why the hardware is so week.
And one second Question is batery. How long time can i do all these spells on batery??

iPhone is the copier. Apple sucks.
Everybody wants to look like the iPhone. Why don’t they just come up with something revolutionary instead of copying?

wiil own the iPhone.
Why? Because iPhone will only work on cingular.
The iPhone will only run software made by Mac and Cingular
These WM devices, have such a large community of free programs to use on your phone. Thats why I got rid of my side kick. MDA still goin strong.
