Sure, this next item might be a little bit of a stretch, but why the hell not: according to MobileCrunch, there’s a build file from an-as-yet unknown device called the HTC Scorpion making the rounds. If the tea leaves are being read correctly (and, more to the point, if they’re real tea leaves and not some sort of bogus tea leaf substitute) we’re looking at a 1.5GHz Snapdragon device with WiMAX support, which means it could potentially be HTC’s long-rumored Android smartbook, or at least a spiritual successor to the Shift. We’re also told that the mysterious device is codenamed Olympian, and that it could sport a new version of Android (build ID FRE65C — being billed as Android 2.2). Since you’re adults, and we feel that we can trust you, we’re placing the alleged file after the break, so you can make up your own mind — handset, smartbook, or nothing at all? Just remember, it was a leaked HTC that broke the news of Android 2.1’s existence.
