HTC’s Big Announcement: The Touch Diamond


Forget all the Android rumors. HTC’s huge, mysterious product launch — which got much less mysterious with all the pictures and specs leaking out over the past week — is the imageTouch Diamond.

On top of its black-tie good looks, the Touch Diamond is pretty much redefining killer specs (except maybe the battery):
