HTC Touch Pro

After the introduction of Apple's iPhone, the world of mobile computing has undergone a revolution. I never could understand why mobile phone manufacturer's couldn't wake up and smell the roses. Bulky keys on mobiles are out. The future belongs to touch screens.

HTC (The company that manufactures the handsets used by O2), has started branding and marketing their own phones like the HTC Touch, and the HTC Touch Diamond. These new generation phones rely heavily on the touch screen. HTC recently pioneered the TouchFlo technology used in the HTC touch, and the HTC diamond.

The idea that you can launch programs with your fingertips without taking out the stylus was revolutionary enough to make the HTC Touch Family "Irresistible Goodies". HTC's Touch Diamond has been the latest thing to hit the market, but many business users have cried foul because it lacks an inbuilt keyboard.



Much as I despise the keyboard, I realize that there are some people who just don't have the time to learn a new keyboard recognition language, and the latest HTC Touch Pro fulfills that need. It has all the features of the HTC Touch Diamond, but with a built in keyboard as you can see in the picture, it has a neat little pull out keyboard which is barely noticeable.

In keeping with the style of "Irresistible Goodies", it's sleek black body is sure to set pulses racing. In addition, it features the next generation of the TouchFlo technology called the TouchFlo 3D. It completely replaces the 'Today' Screen of Windows mobile, and is used as the de-facto launcher of programs.

Allowing upto an astounding 8 hrs of talktime, it comes with a whopping 288 MB of RAM, and 512 MB of Flash Memory. With a CPU speed of 528 Mhz, it far outstrips the capabilities of regular computers upto just a few years ago!

I find it difficult to imagine what other features any business user, no matter how powered, would need from this gadget. It's got wireless, BlueTooth, and a 3.2 Mega Pixel camera. Throw in the 2.8'' display screen, and you've one hell of a tool there.

Of course, if I had the moolah, I wouldn't carry it around for it's functionality. After all, it's an "Irresistible Goodie!". Find it, and more at www.pricealerter.com.
