With the iPhone still setting the standard for touch-screen phones, challengers to the throne all seem to be trying to out-elegance one another. The latest is the HTC Touch Diamond, 'a new benchmark for phone sophistication', the company claims. Central to the phone is the company's TouchFLO 3D interface, which HTC says provides 'animated access' to people (by calling, we presume), messaging, email, photos and more. There's also a touchpad alongside the screen. Under the surface is the Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional operating system.

Put simply, what is the compelling reason to pay ~$200 extra for an Eee with Windows XP? A Windows Eee won't come with any useful applications and you'll have to buy anti-virus software to boot. The truth about low cost computing is that nobody really cares whether the machine is running Windows or Linux as long as its cheap, its easy to use and it works.
