HTC Touch Second to Apple Iphone in Units Sold


Taiwanese phone maker HTC claims it has sold approximately 800,000 units of its Touch smartphone, Reuters reports. While not yet available in North America, the Touch has only been on sale in Europe and Asia since June, making for one of the most impressive phone launches in industry history. The record is eclipsed mainly by the sales of the iPhone, which broke the 1 million barrier in early September.
The sales of the Touch may be partly attributed to the iPhone, at least due to the former's TouchFLO interface, which closely mimics the natural finger gestures used with the iPhone's touchscreen. Both phones also launched in the same month in different regions, even though the Touch had been announced later.
