The Future Screen

Engadget was able to get some video of a new resistive screen from a company called Stantum that will permit multitouch on a resistive screen (the type of screens Windows generally uses that require pressure as opposed to the iPhone’s that require a finger/electric touch). So Stantum has software enhancements that allow for true multitouch … Read more

More on the Touch Pro2

The HTC Touch Pro 2, which was announced earlier today, is coming more to light. The device will feature a Qualcomm® MSM7200A™ processor running at 528 MHz., with 512MB of ROM and 288MB of RAM. Slightly larger and heavier than the Fuze, it will have also have a tilt screen, with a 3.6″ 800x480px touch screen. Many of the other features have been present in the earlier devices, such as GPS, a 3.2MP camera, (now customizable) TF3D,  and the navigation wheel has been replaced by a new ‘zoom bar.’ Overall, the hardware is pretty similar to the Fuze, and there hasn’t been any improvements to the battery life. It seems that the updated software and features are the real selling point here. This is also the first device in the line with raised keys.

For the full specs sheet, check out HTC’s website.
