HTC Touch HD to Launch in Taiwan Before Christmas

by John Jorgensen on November 26, 2008

HTC plans to launch the Touch HD in Taiwan in December.
Suggested retail price: $776 USD.
Its touch screen is 3.8 inches, compared with iPhone’s 3.5 inches.
Uses Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1, just like the Touch Diamond.
5MP camera, 3G, GPS, WiFi, GSM/GPRS/EDGE.
Cliff Lai, CEO of Taiwan Mobile, urges his country to buy the phone instead of sending money to the US with an iPhone purchase.
The Touch HD sounds alright but for $800 I could do a lot of things like, for instance, not buy the Touch HD.

HTC is projecting to ship 1 million G1 phones during the 2008 calendar year.
This is up 67% from their prior estimate of 600k units.
This announcement is puzzling when contrasted with T-Mobile’s previous October announcement that they had already pre-sold 1.5 milion G1s. And this wasn’t counting retail, which was expected to add another 1-2 million units to the total.
Whatever happened to those numbers?
I’d be very interested to see how “shipped” is being counted here.

JOYity is a an app out of Germany for Android that lets you play one of three games. (YouCatch, Roads of San Francisco, City Race Munich)
Roads Of San Francisco is a scavenger hunt type game where you recieve clues about places to go next via text or picture message once you reach specific points. You can follow one of their pre-made hunts or create one easily on your own for you and some friends.
YouCatch is a manhunt type game that allows you and a other people with the same app to try and hunt eachother down through the city. When you find the other person on your radar and are within 25 feet, you can try and kill them. literally.

Sounds like a cool app. Just don’t get hit by a car running around looking for people or clues on your GPS.
