HTC Love melds PDA/media
Taiwanese phonemaker HTC is preparing the Love, a PDA phone that places more emphasis on its media functions. Mobinaute observes that the display is a 2.8-inch touchscreen, and the Bluetooth 2.0 chip supports A2DP stereo and AVRCP remote control. The phone is also eqipped with an FM tuner, a two-megapixel camera, and a microSD slot with a bundled 512MB card. Music and videos can be downloaded through EDGE broadband, or retrieved locally through a MiniUSB port or 802.11b/g wireless. The Love's SD storage is supplemented by 128MB of ROM and 64MB of RAM. Most notable may be the phone's proprietary front-end, which layers over Windows Mobile 5.0 and takes advantage of the display by using a large visual interface. The product should ship in the first quarter of 2007.
