day dropped the price on a pair of smartphones, the HTC touch and the Samsung Ace. You can now get each of these devices for a $100 with a two-year contract.

This is yet another sign that carriers are wising up to the great increases in average revenue per user (ARPU) mobile Web and e-mail can provide. As smartphone users are more likely to purchase a data plan than other customers. So operators are dropping the cost for consumers to get on the smartphone bandwagon, in the hopes that they’ll more than make up for it once folks get their devices up and running online.
Last fall, Sprint became the first carrier to the HTC Touch in the U.S. It original sold for $250 with a two-year contract and after a $100 mail-in rebate.

As with the iPhone, the main means of interaction between the user and the Touch is through its display, which measures 2.8 inches diagonally, sports a 240 x 320 pixel (QVGA) resolution and supports 65,536 colors.

Unlike the iPhone, the Touch is built on Microsoft’s Windows Mobile 6 Professional operating system, currently a far more open mobile platform for which thousands of applications are available.

The Touch features HTC’s TouchFLO technology, which essentially grafts an advanced touch interface onto Windows Mobile. As a result, it is supposed to be capable of recognizing and responding to the sweep of a finger across the screen. It is even supposed to be intelligent enough to distinguish between finger and stylus input.
