Funny.. this is very similar to the interface we designed for the Wurlitzer Digital Jukebox remote control.

Great minds think alike, I suppose.

I like that HTC is trying to build something other than the most basic WinCE ports. I spend a lot of my day developing software on a HTC Apache, and if that phone was my daily driver, I would go insane.

But having seen up close and personal how poorly HTC designs BSPs for WinCE, I can only say I hope this device works better.

Also... has anyone seen the Prada phone? The guy who did the touchscreen drivers for that phone was at an eTel dinner this year and I've got to say, I really thought the interface was quite polished. I wouldn't call it "revolutionary," but it seemed to have a lot of nice little touches to make it more delightful to use.

So I think that even if the iPhone turns out to be a financial disaster (Newton 2007?) it will at least have advanced the notion that UI for mobile devices is important for "feature phones."

Looks very similiar to the way the iPhone interface works.

Ok, I do not know the cheap HTC's. The one I have and need for work uses a big and mighty XScale :) Well - the 612 MHz doesn't make the dialing software of WM5 in 640x480 faster. Really unusable.

Are you joking ? This is the cheapest mass-market
HTC design based on OMAP850 CPU.
