i-mateがシンガポールに拠点を開設！:msmobiles.com

WM6 SmartPhone

What i-mate actually says is "i-mate arrives in Asia" but it is very strange headline considering that i-mate is already headquarted in Asia - in Dubai, United Arab Emirates...
CommunicAsia 2007 trade show takes place now in Sinagopore and i-mate has a stand there - hence the news story - in meantime: (announced long-time ago) i-mate Ultimate series of phones still is not on the market...

msmobiles.com によるとi-mateがシンガポールに拠点を開くそうです(^^ゞ
まぁ、独自にアジアで展開していくには必要かも知れませんけど、それ以前にi-mate Ultimateはいつから発売されるのでしょうね〜？(^^;

HTC TouchのレビューでTouchFLOが良くわかる！：Mobile-review.com

WM6 SmartPhone

Display, “TouchFLO” technology

At a glance, there is absolutely nothing special about the display. Just like in most company’s other models, the HTC Touch utilizes a 320x240-pixel (QVGA) matrix and shows up to 65 K colors. Its color reproduction performance stands up to other offerings as well, the horizontal viewing angles reach maximum values, though tilting the device at an angle towards you, will instantly expose picture distortion.
On a sunny day, pretty often you won’t find yourself content with the display ? the four levels of brightness are not quite enough in this case. Occasionally to read information you will have to tilt the device here and there to get the right angle. But for the rest the matrix does fine. The minimum backlighting level proves to be comfortable for reading.
On a close-up, though, a number of traits come to light, which are actually what makes for finger-based interface that doesn’t require styles. These changes are called “TouchFLO” technology.

大きさの比較とかも圧巻なんですが、個人的にはTouchFLOの動作がわかる動画が嬉しかったり(^^ゞ　←ロシア語みたいですけど・・。
HTC Touchは是非とも触ってみたいデバイスだったり(^^;
