HTC has just updated their old HTC Touch Cruise devised released last year with a new mobile device which shall have the same name with an additional new feature called Footprints. The HTC Touch Cruise with Footprints features a new and more compact design, the same GPS feature, and other mobile functionality that makes the phone worth of using the same HTC Touch Cruise name. But what makes this new HTC Touch Cruis different from its predecessor is a new feature called Footprints which can be used for capturing special moments in a digital postcard using the phone.
The HTC Footprints is an application that allows users to add notes and audio clip about that special moments, whether remembering the name of the place where the event took place, complete with geo-tagging using the phone’s GPS feature or simply adding important people in the photo. Geo-tagging the photos they took using the HTC Touch Cruise would enable users to flip through them to retrace their, well footprints. And this footprint feature works whether users are indoors or outdoors.
The HTC Touch Cruis also functions as an advanced in-car navigation system. Users just need to place the phone in a car cradle and the phone will become a GPS-like navigation device complete with turn-by-turn directions and a sleek touch-screen interface.
