HTC Corporation has launched Touch HD, an entertainment-focused handset that transforms how people use the Mobile Internet and experience multimedia on the move.

Touch HD utilises TouchFLO, HTC’s finger-touch optimised navigation experience enabling quick, one-touch access to the people, messages and content users want.

Integrating a large 3.8 inch wide-screen VGA display (WVGA), a standard 3.5mm audio jack and a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus, the HTC Touch HD is the perfect device for multimedia fans, said a statement.

“We expect the Touch HD to create a major buzz in the market, especially after observing the interest it generated at Gitex Dubai where it was launched,” said Kevin Chen, general manager, HTC Middle East and Africa.

“This device offers something for everyone; whether you are a professional or a student, the Touch HD gives you an unmatched touch user experience.”      

The Touch HD offers an uncompromising touch phone experience with powerful Internet capabilities including wireless download speeds up to 18 times faster than standard 3G.

As part of this browsing experience users can zoom and pan websites with one-hand. This true mobile broadband experience allows users to navigate more easily, leveraging the mobile Internet in a variety of ways.

With this device, customers can search for and watch streaming video from YouTube and stay updated on the latest news with the integrated RSS reader. This provides a comparable Internet experience to that of home broadband in terms of both speed and page layout.-TradeArabia News Service
