In his interview for Connect magazine, the top-manager of HTC, Lars Weisswange (director on the regions of Germany, Austria and Switzerland) has stated some curious ideas regarding the usability of the Windows Mobile operational system and its impracticality combined with the modern interfaces with touch input.
As he said, the operational system Windows Mobile is not bad for business-users, but it is difficult for ordinary users to work with this OS when it comes to touch screens. For this reason, HTC has develop the TouchFLO interface - including its 3D-version TouchFLO 3D.
Weisswange also has declared that the Internet Explorer browser for Windows Mobile is exposed to significant critics. To avoid its users’ disapproval, HTC adds in its products browsers of the other companies - for example, Opera Mobile 9.5.
