Is AT&T about to get its first Android tablet? Details about HTC's alleged next tablet, nicknamed the HTC Puccini, surfaced in the Taiwanese manufacturer's filing with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which was first picked up by Engadget.
In the filing HTC calls the tablet an LTE device, and indicates support for radio bands 4 and 17, which belong to AT&T and could signal connectivity on AT&T's upcoming LTE network. The filing also shows pretty requisite support for GSM and CDMA frequencies.
The filing also reveals that Puccini will run on tablet-optimized Android 3.0, aka Honeycomb. The Puccini will also house a 1,280-by-800 resolution screen with support for 720p HD video. Furthermore, the tablet will feature dual speakers and no 3D-capable camera setup.
In May, a DigiTimes report revealed specs about the Puccini, including a 10.1-inch touch screen, dual-core 1.5-GHz Qualcomm MSM8660 processor, and a touch panel with both resistive and capacitive touch capabilities. DigiTimes also reported that the tablet would launch in June, however.
There will also reportedly be an HTC Scribe capacitive stylus for the Puccini's 1,280-by-800 pixel display. That's also an optional accessory for the Flyer, HTC's current Android tablet, the HTC Flyer, which was launched in April exclusively with Sprint. The 7-inch slate has Bluetooth 3.0, Wi-Fi, and connects to Sprint's 4G WiMAX network. The Flyer has 32GB of Flash memory, 1GB of memory, a 4000 mAh battery, and two cameras, a 5-megapixel camera on the back, and a 1.3-megapixel camera on the front.
The Flyer is currently the subject of an ITC complaint filed by Apple this month.
