HTC is a pretty established player in the smartphone market - it has been around for 10 years and is widely considered to be the market leader when it comes to Windows Mobile handsets, with a wide variety of designs available.
One problem that HTC have had is that fundamentally, all their phones are very similar. Yes - you can add 3G, WiFi, keyboards, touchscreens and even GPS and then mix the ingredients around, but underneath they're all constrained somewhat by the fact that they run Windows.
So, the HTC Touch (codenamed the HTC Elf and also known as the HTC P3450) represents a new departure. Instead of supply the Touch with a standard Windows Mobile implementation, they've chosen to do something a little different. Using a technology called TouchFLO™, HTC have made the Touch very much easier to control with a finger rather than a stylus. The Touch automatically distinguished between a stylus and a finger - the user simply sweeps their finger across the display and the Touch comes up with an elegant interface that is specially optimised for this type of use. HTC say that it is "an animated, three-dimensional interface... the interface can be spun by swiping a finger right or left across the display.. TouchFLO also enhances finger touch scrolling and browsing of Web pages, documents, messages and contact lists". from.http://www.mobilegazette.com/htc-touch-07x06x05.htm
