Taken from The Register:

'HTC readies radical Touch HD revamp
New CPU, new OS

IFA HTC has drawn up plans for a significant upgrade to its Touch HD smartphone, Register Hardware has learned.

The original Touch HD – launched late last year – runs Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional. But the phone firm told us that the updated version – to be called, unsurprisingly, the Touch HD 2 – will use Google’s Android OS instead.

HTC’s decision to swap to Android isn’t a great surprise, as the firm’s already shown great favour towards the OS, with releases like the T-Mobile G1, Vodafone Magic and the Hero.

However, it is odd that HTC chose not to embrace Microsoft’s inbound Windows Mobile update – version 6.5 – on the Touch HD 2.

A source familiar with HTC's plans also told Register Hardware that the Touch HD 2 will be significantly faster than the original – and faster than the vast majority of HTC handsets to date.

Most high-end HTC models currently sport run on a 528MHz Qualcomm processor, the mole said, but the Touch HD 2 will use a 628MHz Qualcomm chip. The chip isn’t clocked as high as the 800MHz processor inside Samsung’s Jet phone, but it’s a step in the right direction for HTC.

The Touch HD 2 will also feature a 3.8in touchscreen, the source said - presumably the same 480 x 800 display used in the original Touch.

A formal launch date and price for the updated HTC handset haven’t been announced.'

Weird HTC arent using that Snapdragon CPU yet, so they realy are more for Android than WM, or maybe they feel the Touch HD2 should be more "multimedia orientated"? Im sure Dups is gna like that one.

I got love for JT but i just cant get used to him being an actor. Couldnt they have used someone like Casey Affleck? That dudes performance in "The Assassination of Jesse James by the coward Robert Ford" was brilliant, JT is just too cheesy,i cant take him seriously as an actor lol. Sounds like its going to be good though.

@ Gucci:
Ya I also thought of Dups when I read that, LOL. Especially if they also equip it with a decent QWERTY keyboard, hey Dups?

lol GUCCI, I get what you mean, wonder how Weezy is going to turn out, I remember him saying that he is going to be doing some acting...
Can't say I've watched any Casey Affleck movies, the Ocean's aren't that clear in my mind any more and wasn't really a fan.

Hmm, maybe I'll use one of these for the esato monthly photo comp, seeing that the theme for this month is 'Night':

Obviously using a very basic telescope again, and no editing after the pic was taken with the P1i:




Nah, I'll take more night pics in the weeks ahead, then faff around with the cam settings and see what effects I can come up with, and make my mind up which one to select from there.
