Why Wait for an iPhone, Get This Crap Instead

HTC Touch
Availible right now, the HTC Touch is a new Windows smartphone featuring, you guessed it, a touchscreen interface.

According to their website:

Consumers simply sweep their finger up the display to launch an animated, three-dimensional interface comprising three screens: Contacts, Media and Applications. The interface can be spun by swiping a finger right or left across the display, providing efficient access to the features consumers use most.

Sounds awesome, HTC.

I love a product that copies a great concept yet manages to destroy so completely everything innovative and useful about the original. The Touch (super name, by the way) does have one thing over the iPhone. It can recognize the difference between a finger and a stylus, and respond accordingly.

Did you listen to the keynote, HTC?
