HTC’s TouchFLO-powered devices have managed to sell exceptionally well. Even though the Touch already has siblings/successors, the box that started it all has managed to make it to our headlines once again:
2 million Touch’s sold
HTC has just announced the sale of the 2 000 000’st 1gen Touch. Even though Apple sold 4mio iPhones in the same time, one must also compare the amount of mainstream hype received by each of the devices.

Congratulations to HTC!

Touch comes to Verizon
A HowardForums member has posted snapshots o0f a device that is said to be Verizon’s version of the Touch. The machine is white, and will be sold under the name Verizon Wireless XV6900.

Nowadays, most PocketPC’s have both Bluetooth and WiFi radios. Many people owning more than one handheld still run legacy Bluetooth routers along their WiFi systems - and Bluetooth headphones/etc have never been as popular as they are right now.

So far so good - but both Bluetooth and WiFi operate in the 2.4GhZ band…don’t they disturb one another?

The folks over at Eurescom’s have put online an interesting paper looking at bluetooth/WiFi interference. Cutting a long story short: yes, they do interfere. However, the impact usually is below 25%.

Do you run Bluetooth and WiFi devices in parallel? Can you agree to their findings?
