HTC does iPhone-like device

Sun, 10 Jun 2007 20:01:38 -0400

Worried that the iPhone is going to force you into the Apple world if you want to be truly cool? Phone-maker HTC has you covered. The HTC Touch (photo) is a new phone that has many of the features anticipated in the iPhone, and one feature that the iPhone won't have--Windows Mobile 6. The 2.8-inch, 320 x 240 color screen accepts gestures, and supports them with three buttons below the screen. No U.S. carrier has yet grabbed the HTC Touch as an iPhone alternative, but the U.S debut isn't until Fall. In the meantime, U.K. visitors can pick up an unlocked GSM version for around $605. Until then, consumers will have to wait for HTC, Motorola, and other vendors to bring their next-generation phones to the U.S. market.

Hello Moto-Linux

They've been talking about it for a while, but Motorola has finally delivered on a long-term promise, bringing Linux-powered Rokr and Razr 2 phones to market. CEO Ed Zander has made a Linux-based phone an important part of the electronic giant's return to the top of the mobile phone heap, and the new phone versions are the first products in the company's push to beat out new devices from Apple and other vendors. The new MotoRizr Z6 (formerly a Rokr) stands as an especially important new platform, as it includes complete Microsoft connectivity. If the two new phones sell well, others, such as the Ming, may well follow in the U.S. market.
