HTC Touch Cruise is the latest device coming from this producer to upgrade what the original HTC Touch had to offer. The device was unofficially presented in Netherlands almost a month ago and now we have an official announcement as well.

HTC Touch Cruise uses an improved TouchFLO interface, which is supposed to bring new gestures and easier controls. The user can rely on a half turn of the finger to rotate an object, complete turn to the right to zoom in and complete turn in the other direction to zoom out. This sounds very much like the iPhone's similar features that relied on bringing two fingers closer together or distancing them in order to zoom in or to zoom out of a picture.

The PocketPC runs on a 400MHz processor and has 128 MB of RAM and 256 MB of ROM. One of the most appealing features about it is that the 2.8 inch touchscreen is large enough to make great support for GPS navigation with maps provided by TomTom. Moreover, the device also packs Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, for wireless connections.

Still, the 3G technology is by far one of the most appealing features about this device, as it should enable data transfers at high speeds of up to 3.6 Mbps. Aside from that, there is also a microSD card slot, for making sure that the user never runs out of data storage space for his personal files. That makes it sound like one of the most evolved devices out there and make it worthy of withstanding any competition.

HTC Touch Cruise should start shipping this month. Still, the producer said nothing on the price that it will come for, although the specification list hints towards high chances of seeing a pretty big price tag attached to it.
