HTC Puccini Tablet Gets Named Jetstream by AT&T

Just a day ago, HTC was found to be working on a certain tablet device, one on which there was hardly any information available, though this situation appears to have now changed, courtesy of AT&T.

The tablet market is growing, as always, even though HP did announce it was dropping its entire webOS project (in addition to other changes).

Then again, even if this plan based on a custom OS did not pay off, the Android market is going strong and even Windows 8 sees to be making good first impressions.

Meanwhile, HTC was found to have put together its own slate project, though the so-called Puccini let the mystery shroud stay thick around it.

Not for long, it turns out, as a new report, not far apart form the other one, has emerged, courtesy of PocketNow.

One thing that people can be reasonably clear about is that the name of the tablet will be Jetstream, or at least this is what the screenshots suggest.

It will sell in the US through AT&T's 4G product plan, meaning that prospective customers can look forward to superior network and web speeds.

Unfortunately, the screenshots don't really show any hardware details, meaning that the 10-inch diagonal is, still, all that is known about the physical side of things.

What one can, on the other hand, spot is the more or less new user interface (the Android OS is used, 3.0 or 3.2, depending on what HTC does in the time before the launch, whenever that is).

According to what was discovered prior to this day, the formal arrival of the Puccini, called Jetsream on AT&T and possibly something else by the time of launch, will be during this third quarter of 2011.

In other words, prospective buyers shouldn't have to wait more than a few weeks.
