Life with an HTC Touch: Week 4

Live Search, on the other hand, is quite impressive. Enter a search term and it automatically compresses the pages you're visiting and shrinks them down to a PDA-width-friendly size - reducing your data load and speeding up download times. It breaks big pages into sections (for instance, Reviews becomes its own section if you view www.pcpro.co.uk this way), and if you view pages in landscape rather than portrait mode browsing becomes a surprisingly pleasant experience.
One issue I have with the implementation of Windows Live on the Touch is that once you launch it there's very little space on the Today page for anything else - so your forthcoming appointments get pushed down to below the screen (as I've shown in the screenshot below).

As ever, if there are any other features of the phone you'd like me to investigate, let me know by posting a message in Comments.
