All-new HTC Touch Cruise launches

Can't decide whether to throw your money at a new phone or a new GPS? Well, buy both - with the new HTC Touch Cruise. Unlike most phones, which feature GPS, the HTC Touch Cruise is more of a split device, offering you a 2.8-inch QVGA screen, GPS receiver, maps, car cradle and 3.2 megapixel camera for directions. Why the camera? Well, the Touch Cruise has a rather clever feature called Footprints, which allows you to photograph, tag and take notes on a particular location. So when you flip back through your holiday snaps, you'll know exactly where you had that great pizza and where you got a hotel room full of bed bugs and damp. Aside from that, the Touch Cruise is a well-featured touchscreen smartphone, with the TouchFLO four-way navigation wheel and Windows 6.1 OS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and HSDPA connectivity and a microSD slot for storage. Look out for the HTC Touch Cruise in spring, price certain to be dependent on contract. Link: HTC (via Engadget )   (link)
