New smartphone from HTC?

"Apparently, HTC is having a little trouble keeping people with cameras out of its offices, as evidenced by this totally great spy shot of a what appears to be a bunch of (or two) new phones. We're familiar with quite of few of these devices, like the TyTn II, Touch Cruise, and Touch you see in the upper row, but things get a little stickier down below. Save for that P3470 that's second from left, we have no clue what those slick looking square numbers are."



I rather suspect all the three unknowns in the bottom row are the same device, but they sure look interesting. Engadget thinks they're T-Mobile's MDA Compact IV, but the jury's still out on that one - any chance we're seeing the HTC Dream?

HTC Dreaming of Android

"The mobile phone High Tech Computer (HTC) has been developing to run on the Android software from Google will be called "Dream," and it will have a large touchscreen and full QWERTY keypad, a person close to the situation said Thursday...HTC's Google handset is just over 5 inches long and 3 inches wide, with a keypad underneath the screen that either slides out or swivels out. The aim of the keypad is for easy e-mail, note-taking, and writing Web addresses. Internet navigational controls are situated below the screen on the handset."

There were a few prototypes of Android on show at MWC, but they were at best described as proof of concept rather than anything approaching a production device - bare circuit boards and an LCD don't quite make the cut as a consumer must-have ;). HTC of course were one of the first companies to announce development of an Android device, and it looks like they're going to be first to market as well. At the dimensions mentioned, that would make something on the size of an O2 Flame, with very likely a 3.5"/3.7" screen, and the presence of the keyboard means this won't be fashionably thin. Taking all that together, this appears more like Intel's concept of a MID device, especially with the Linux kernel in the background. The plot thickens!
