HTC Touch is broken

Marek Pawlowski reviews the HTC Touch, an attempt at a touch-screen that’s slightly out of the ordinary, and finds it slightly lacking.

“For starters, the TouchFlo sensor doesn’t work very well. The screen itself had an almost ’sticky’ feel to it when I first took the product out of the box and it was actually physically impossible to slide your thumb in the way required. This improved over time, presumably as grease built up on the screen, but there were more fundamental problems with the software. It just wasn’t very good at recognising the swipe gesture, so the success rate for flipping between screens was typically about 40 percent. More than half the time I was having to repeat the gesture to get it to switch screens.”
