Many expect HTC to announce its follow up to the phenomenally successful HTC Desire handset, an Android 2.2 running HTC Desire HD next week, along with a Android powered tablet device that would attempt to tackle the Apple iPad and recently unveiled Samsung Galaxy Tab in the tablet market.
Despite these tantalising announcements, taking much of the pre-event spotlight is the Windows powered HTC HD7, the manufacturer’s first device to run the new and highly impressive Microsoft mobile operating system.
Confirmed specs for the HD7 are a mere dream, industry speculation and claimed leaks however put the HD3 boasting a 4.5-inch AMOLED touchscreen with 1200 x 800p resolution alongside a staggering 1.5GHz processor and 1GB or RAM. The soon to be announced HD3 is also believed to host a HDMI port, 8-megapixel camera with dual LED flash and HD video recording capabilities around 32GB of in-built storage expandable by a further 32GB via microSD card.
