HTC has announced its rather smart looking Touch Pro, a hybrid touchscreen/QWERTY cellphone which is based on the Diamond. With a 2.8" screen and a real, physical keyboard, it looks like HTC is pushing this as a sometime laptop replacement. It even has a TV out port, and HTC wasted no time in coming up with a very exciting use for it:
When not sending poor meeting attendees to sleep, the Touch Pro offers other diversions. A 3.2 megapixel camera (plus another VGA camera for video calls); HSDPA/WCDMA, GSM/GPRS/EDGE and Wi-Fi; and what HTC is calling TouchFLO 3D, which we think is some kind of homage to Apple's Cover Flow.
The Touch Pro will be available in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East in late summer and in the Americas after that.
