Is HTC birthing a fire-breathing Dragon? (http://www.droiddog.com/android-blog/2009/10/is-htc-birthing-a-fire-breathing-dragon/)

Check this out. I dont have any hardware images, but I do have a couple of specs and some screenshots (http://www.droiddog.com/android-blog/2009/10/is-htc-birthing-a-fire-breathing-dragon/#). Nothing in the way of processor or memory, but with a name like Dragon and our sources use of the words “GAME CHANGER,” one would hope that this thing will pack a wallop.
We have to take this for what it is at the moment; ten screen grabs. But the prospect is titillating, no? And the circumstances dont exactly reek of trickery. Judging by the apps and information source, it looks like hackers may release the software (http://www.droiddog.com/android-blog/2009/10/is-htc-birthing-a-fire-breathing-dragon/#) before HTC.
Reignzone from XDA had this to say about the images below:
So, what Ive got here is a little build were referring to as the “Pet Dragon”. Its highly experimental at the moment…and from what I have noticed after reviewing the build.prop files from this “system dump” of the device I spoke of earlier today…HTC Dragon. (dubbed “Zoom 2″) —> the screen resolution (http://www.droiddog.com/android-blog/2009/10/is-htc-birthing-a-fire-breathing-dragon/#) is 800×480…which as you can tell is quite an impressive resolution. Judging from the release keys, its also a capacitive touch screen device. Now, having said all this…it IS NOT the HTC Leo, HTC Desire, or Passion. Because this device is in fact operating on the “2.0″ firmware (http://www.droiddog.com/android-blog/2009/10/is-htc-birthing-a-fire-breathing-dragon/#) along with the HTC Sense user interface applied for style. So, its like an “Eclair Hero”. Lol.
Unzip (http://www.droiddog.com/android-blog/2009/10/is-htc-birthing-a-fire-breathing-dragon/#) the packaged files, and enjoy.
But again, bare with me…its still very “bare bones” and needs a lot of work…but this device is going to be a GAME CHANGER! Perhaps more so than the HTC Leo!
Well… thatll get your geek juices flowing, wont it? Here are the screengrabs:

yup.i saw this article yesterday

the HTC Dragon will lauch with Android 2.0 (using 1.5 ATM cuz its not ready yet) Plus all the updates to SenseUI 2.0 also..... i cant imagine what this device will bring since its so early in development, there isnt anything to show cept ideas.
