(TAIEX: 2498; "HTC"), the world's leading provider of Microsoft® Windows Mobile®-based smart devices, today announced that the HTC Touch, a small and stylish smart device with intuitive touch screen navigation, will make its Asian retail debut in Taiwan. "With the launch of the HTC Touch, HTC has officially emerged as an instantly-recognizable global brand," said Peter Chou, chief executive officer at HTC. "Since Taiwan is HTC's home base, it is only fitting that it be the first country in Asia to sell the HTC Touch." Furthermore, given the long-standing relationship between both companies, HTC has selected Chunghwa Telecom, Taiwan's largest telecommunications operator, as its exclusive partner in retailing the HTC Touch, and the device will be made available to consumers island-wide beginning in mid-June."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/wey-20070613-htctouch.jpg" /><br /><br />If you're in Taiwan, keep your eyes open for a Touch debut in the coming days. The <a href="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=55516">specs</a> remain unchanged, meaning it's still tri-band. So if you can stomach that, and fancy everything else about the Touch, be prepared to give up NTD $15,900 (roughly USD $480).
