Mobile device maker HTC is pushing forward its sleek line of Cruise smartphones, announcing the HTC Touch Cruise, with a new Footprints application that enables users to tag notes, audio snippets, and photos with location data so users can more easily store and share information about their favorite places. The Footprints application automatically adds specific GPS coordinates to items, but also creates “digital postcards” that users can use for capturing memories or sharing with friends. The Footprints application names each postcard for its general geographic location or area, and users can flip back through their postcards to retrace their steps. HTC says Footprints works both outdoors and indoors, so it offers a more-accurate record of a user’s location than traditional GPS devices.
