14 DAY TRIAL // Taiwanese mobile phone maker HTC Corporation announced officially the launch of two new Android-based devices during a press event in London this week, and it seems that the company is already taking steps towards having the phones available on the market.
This is why the HTC Desire HD has been spotted at FCC, it seems, even if it emerged there only with support for 3G networks outside the United States.
For the time being, it appears that the high-end HTC EVO 4G is the only Android-based 4.3-inch device available for users in the country, though it might not take too long for a second version of the device to make an appearance on shelves.
As a recent article on Engadget notes, it wouldn't be the first time when two different versions of the same device passed through FCC, and the emergence of a Desire HD with 850 / 1900 frequencies on board is something that seems pretty plausible.
In the meantime, we should take a look at another HTC device that just made an appearance into the wild, the HTC Tube.
According to a post on Android And Me, the new product should arrive on shelves with built-in DLNA support, enabling users to wirelessly stream audio, pictures, and video from their smartphones to their HDTV devices.
The best part of the story, however, is that the new device should include support for older HDTV devices too, those which do not pack DLNA capabilities.
The specifications list of HTC Tube should also include a 1 GHz OMAP3630 processor, complemented by 256MB of RAM and 256MB of ROM.
It's rather interesting that HTC chose to pack a Texas Instruments chip inside this device, since it mainly has Qualcomm silicon inside its smartphones.
The upcoming product is also expected to include a HDMI port, as well as Wi-Fi, Micro-USB, and multimedia capabilities, while being powered by Google's Android OS.
Hopefully, more info on this device would become available in the near future, and we'll learn more on what HTC plans for it.
Until that happens, you can check on the HTC Tube photos attached to this article, or head over to Pocket-lint for the entire gallery.
