It seems that HTC is going to launch the successor to the HTC Touch HD that it launched last year, running Windows Mobile 6.1. The twist, this time it is rumored to be running Android instead. I cannot say that I am surprised by this, especially since this means that there will be yet again another Android device in the exact same form factor, only with some better stats.

Maybe eventually I will get excited over an Android device. The G1 was a great start, but so far nobody has decided to follow it up with a GSM model that has power and a physical keyboard. So, HTC is continuing the Android trend lately by pushing out another iPhone clone re-using a design (albeit a very good design) from last year. *yawn*

I’ll sit here waiting for a true Android workhorse that could compete with upcoming devices like the Nokia N900 to be the phone that will let me leave my laptop at home.

So, does a Touch HD2 running Android tickle your fancy or do you think it is yet another Android iPhone clone? Sound off in the comments and let us know.
