The guys over at BGR have got their hands on a new device from HTC. This is what they had to say about the device:
Our source describes the phone as being an EVO in a larger and more polished Nexus One body; brushed aluminum, very upper end of the market, you get the picture. “It makes the Droid 2 look like a kids toy,” our source told us. No word on if it is a global device, although… we’re betting it is. From what we can see the device has an 8 megapixel camera with dual-LED flash, kickstand, 4.3-inch screen, 3.5 mm headphone jack, and, wait for it… a front facing camera.

Boy Genius Report was able to get its hands on Verizon Wireless’ supposed 2010/2011 roadmap for its mobile devices. Android users can rejoice as many of the leaked products deal with the Google OS. Among the most exciting news from this roadmap include news of a Motorola Droid Pro, Android tablets from both Motorola and Samsung, and LTE coverage from the network.
If the roadmap is correct, the Motorola Droid Pro will sport a 1.3Ghz processor, a 4 inch screen, and global roaming capabilities. The Droid Pro is set for a November 2010 release and is one of many Android devices coming to Verizon. Verizon will release many other Android phones from both Samsung and HTC.
Motorola and Samsung are both working on a touchscreen tablet running on the Android OS. While Samsung will be also be releasing a Android touchscreen tablet with Verizon, it is Motorola’s tablet that is perhaps the most interesting to Android fans. The rumored device will sport either a 1GHz or 1.3 GHz processor, a 10 inch screen and run on Android 3.o and will most likely come out around February 2011.
