Taiwan Market: CHT-HTC jointly launch Touch Cruise
Chunghwa Telecom (CHT) and High Tech Computer (HTC) on January 24 jointly launched the HTC Touch Cruise in Taiwan, with CHT aiming to use the device to further promote its upgraded mPro business-use platform.
The Touch Cruise, which features HSDPA/3.5G, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity and GPS functionality, will enable the subscribers of CHT's mPro service to easily access news reports, stock performance and weather information and enjoy expanded email space, according to sources at CHT.
