<\/p>\nHTC Touch Cruise is NOT new to us. Actually, in my opinion, HTC Touch Cruise (Singapore) package is very comprehensive with cradle for car and other accessories. Fast forward to 2009. HTC has relaunched Touch Cruise with a faster Processor and of course TouchFlo on 22nd January 2009.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The new Cruise is more compact, rounded and comes with Windows Mobile 6.1 and more juice (RAM, ROM). Read the press release below.<\/p>\n

Once captured, Footprints provides the ability to take notes and an audio clip of that favourite restaurant or special place while identifying its specific geographical location. In addition to identifying each postcard with its specific GPS co-ordinates, Footprints also auto-names each postcard with its general location or area.<\/p>\n Flipping back through their photos, HTC Touch Cruise users will be able to retrace their steps to that exact location in just a few touches. Unlike other devices with geo-tagging functionality, HTC Footprints works effectively outdoors and indoors, offering a more accurate record of location for future reference and navigation.<\/p>\n \u201cJust as we have seen GPS technology transform how people navigate to new places, we are now seeing location-based applications like HTC Footprints changing how we interact and carry our memories,\u201d said Peter Chou, President and CEO, HTC Corporation.<\/p>\n HTC Touch Cruise Car Cradle<\/strong><\/p>\n The HTC Touch Cruise is also an advanced in-car navigation system.\u00a0 When placed into its accompanying car cradle, the HTC Touch Cruise automatically transforms its user interface into an easy-to-use, one-touch interface that provides seamless turn-by-turn directions.<\/p>\n Boasting a compact and sleek design with a 2.8 inch QVGA display, the HTC Touch Cruise is a further demonstration of HTC\u2019s continued commitment to innovation, providing consumers with a variety of devices designed to meet their individual needs.
