Don’t feel like waiting the few weeks to get an iPhone? Feel a little queasy about pumping more smugness into Apple’s already bloated sense of self by giving them a ton of money for little more than an ipod with a speaker?

HTC Touch Phone Rivals Apple iPhone

Then you need to check out the newest phone from HTC, the “HTC Touch”, released Wednesday to T-Mobile customers. Sporting a 2.8-inch, 320-by-240, 65K-color touch screen and Windows Mobile 6, the HTC Touch offers many of the snazzy finger sweeps and swoops touted by Jobs and the iPhone as “groundbreaking”.

With the HTC Touch, a user can scroll through contacts, songs, or documents with simple finger movements, and can easily sync tunes and files with Windows Media Player and Vista systems.

No doubt Apple will find some way of suing for infringement of the technology that they rightfully stole themselves. Of course, Apple has a way of doing that. Xerox Parc point-and-click interface ring a bell, Stevie?
