HTC today unveiled the new Touch Cruise, its latest smartphone with built-in GPS and HTC Footprints, an application that geotags images and creates digital postcards on the phone.
Once a photo is captured, Footprints can take notes, an audio clip, and geotag to identify its geographical location. When users flip back through photos, they will be able to retrace steps to that exact location.
Footprints works outdoors and indoors for accurate records of locations.
When placed in its car cradle, the Touch Cruise becomes an in-car navigation system. It automatically converts its user interface for turn-by-turn directions.
Using TouchFLO technology, the Touch Cruise provides fingertip access to phone, contacts, email, messaging, calendar and GPS applications.
"Just as we have seen GPS technology transform how people navigate to new places, we are now seeing location-based applications like HTC Footprints changing how we interact and carry our memories," said Peter Chou, CEO of HTC.
The Touch Cruise will be available in all major global markets in spring 2009.
