A couple of people were the authors of a hot leak, that of HTC Dragon, an Android device with a 1 GHz Qualcomm CPU. The folks of XDA Developers managed to get hold of an experimental HTC build and made a couple of logical deductions starting from there.The build is called “Pet Dragon” and screen-shots from it are pictured below, seemingly meant to be part of HTC Dragon’s interface.

Turns out that Dragon is also a capacitive touchscreen deice and no, it’s not HTC Leo, Desire or Passion.

We also learn that the smart-phone operates on “2.0 firmware” coupled with HTC Sense UI, but all in all the software is still under development and it needs work. A couple of interesting new features are HTC SSD and TV browser…
