Purported HTC "Touch HD" has a huge, beautiful screen, some wicked specs (http://www.thetechlounge.com/news/13252/Purported-HTC-Touch-HD-has-a-huge-beautiful-screen-some-wicked-specs/)

It's all rumor and speculation, but a picture paints a thousand internet links. This alleged HTC Touch HD is a fullscreen touch device with WVGA (800X480) resolution—essentially taking, say, the Touch Diamond's razor-sharp screen and making it longer. As another metric, if you think the iPhone looks nice, realize that screen runs in 480x320. ther specs include 528MHz processor, 256MB RAM, 512MB, HSDPA, GPS and just 12mm of thickness. It's supposed to be "in stores for Santa."
I wasn't in love with the original Touch when I got a chance to review it a few months ago. One of my biggest complaints was how small the screen was for a device driven solely by touch input. If this thing is real, then you've got one of the biggest flaws solved there. And you get 480x800 resolution, which is the new hotness on WinMo devices. The supposed specs are quite a bit of a leap for the old Touch as well. It may actually be able to keep up with all of the multimedia goodness that was advertised as capability on the original Touch. Now, if they could only find a way to make Windows Mobile better.
I kid!
Not really.
