Android-powered HTC Touch HD 2 in the works
It was around this time a year ago when we first heard about the HTC Touch HD. While it may have been the closest thing HTC had to a real iPhone-killer during the time, Americans and Canadians were unfortunately left out on all the fun as it was never released in the North American region. Fast-forward to the present, we’ve now gotten word that a successor to this controversial device is apparently in the works already.
Aptly named the HTC Touch HD 2, Reg Hardware reports that this new touchscreen phone will now be running on the Android platform unlike its predecessor which had Windows Mobile as its OS. Aside from that, it will also now sport a faster 628MHz Qualcomm processor at the helm. It may not be as fast as the 1GHz Snapdragon processor found on the HTC Leo, but it’s certainly a welcome improvement from the 528MHz processor bundled with the HTC Touch HD. As far as its display is concerned, we hear that it’s still basically the same 3.8-inch 480
