Htc Touch Cruise
With more and more touchscreen mobile phones and PDA's coming onto the market each month making fancy claims, it can get mighty confusing knowing what's what & which is best !
Well, the latest product from HTC offers something not only useful but very, very clever indeed.
The HTC Touch Cruise has a feature called "Footprints". What this can actually achieve is quite unique. Say for example, that you're on holiday in a busy city & you come across a great place to dine out - We'll call it Bert's Bar as an example. You like it so much that you & you're partner visit it many times during your stay & on the last visit, you take a video of you're better half enjoing a glass of wine in a relaxed atmosphere......
Fast forwards 2 years and you and your partner are back in town & wish to revisit your old haunt - But wait ! Everything looks different ! Buildings you remember are no longer there, shops have changed name, where is Bert's Bar ! Well fret no more as the HTC Touch Cruise will direct you back to the exact same spot via the Footprints feature - How neat is that !
Obviously it may be any location whether scenic, work related or whatever, the point being that Footprints is a really useful function to have and takes SATNAV to a whole new level. You can even record sound with your image so you can reminiss about old times and what was said when & where. You can realistically make up a journal with it which would prove far more interesting than just looking back at old photos.
The navigation software of the HTC Touch Cruise makes it a breeze to get around town. The cool thing is that it now comes with a car kit that helps you get even more out of your smartphone while you're on the road. Simply put the Touch Cruise in the car kit holder and it automatically changes to NaviPanel mode. NaviPanel offers you a convenient one-touch interface to all the travel tools you need like GPS navigation shortcuts. Tap Go Home and the included software efficiently guides you to your destination. It even helps you locate services or avoid traffic jams on the way. But most importantly, it will never, ever let you get lost.
Other cool features of this HTC mobile phone include TouchFLO finger swipe navigation, 3G video calling, expandable memory via microSD, 3.2 megapixel camera & pocket Office.
The HTC Touch Cruise can be bought on contract or SIM Free at The Order from Spring 2009 onwards
