But no information, regarding the new tablet, has been given by either HTC or Verizon . Otherwise, it is likely to have regular features, like an embodied WiFi, multitouch screen, a bluetooth and a webcam, states the blog.

Google has earlier, used the Android 2.2 (Froyo) for the smartphone. Android 2.2 is also expected to be used in the upcoming slates by Samsung and Motorola. But the most attractive feature of HTC’s tablet will be the Google Chrome operating system.

The Chrome OS will be used for the first time for a slate. Until now it had only been used in netbooks, though analysts had affirmed its utility in both power netbooks and tablets.

Earlier in the year, Eric Lin, spokesperson from HTC, had not denied the possibility of HTC’s entering the tablet market, stating that HTC will eventually launch a tablet which will be substantially unique and not merely an old machine with a new name.

Though speculations have been made about the tablet’s capability of succeeding as a low cost Internet connection device, there are doubts about it being sufficiently capable of giving competition to Apple iPad’s OS. To make it a success in the tablet market, it will have to priced at a considerably low rate, states Jack Gold, of the Technology Analyst Firm, J.Gold Associates.

Is this compatible to Android? Anyone knows? Please let me know.
