HTC Unveils the Touch Cruise with Footprints


Today HTC announced a new Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional smartphone, the Touch Cruise. The Cruise has the TouchFLO user interface and a host of other features, including quad-band GSM/EDGE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, GPS/a-GPS, and a 3.2 megapixel camera with fixed focus. The display spans 2.8 inches, rating QVGA resolution, and the Cruise has a slot for microSD cards. The Cruise also has a new software feature, called Footprints. Footprints provides the ability to take notes and an audio clip associated with images captured by the phone, while identifying its specific geographical location. In addition to geo-tagging images, Footprints also auto-names them with the general location or area where the picture was taken. An unlocked 850/1900 MHz HSDPA 7.2Mbps variant will be made available in North America for $500 to $600 in the second quarter.
