Super iClone Fun: HTC Touch HD vs. iPhone 3G Video

Okay, well, only for the first few seconds at the very beginning when Dieter proves HTC pretty much made a point of matching the iPhone 3G form factor exactly. Same height. Same width. Same depth. Of course, it's plastic resistive screen isn't the same as the glass capacitive screen of the iPhone -- it's 800x480! (Compared to the iPhone's 480x320), and it packs an auto-focus 5 megapixel camera... (Along with TouchFlo 3D, about which we've done video all our own...)

Now, HTC has said that this device isn't coming to the US, but TiPb is still hoping Apple rises up an matches at least some of the Touch HD's specs with an iPhone HD of their very own. HTC's already shown the hardware can fit the package, and Apple's already shown they can deliver the content...

We're just saying...

(Make sure you watch the video through to its bitter-sweet ending. We laughed, we cried, we created a new beverage game around watch-spotting...)
