In the last few days there has been rumor about two new upcoming qHD handsets from HTC. One of them which codenamed HTC Kingdom was believed to be the EVO 3D headed for Sprint this summer. However the latest info finally revealed that it’s completely a new device distinct from EVO 3D. It’s a bit confusing, isn’t it?

Look at the pictures above. The rumored HTC Kingdom is on the left, while the EVO 3D which codenamed “Shooter” is on the right. Those two handsets are somewhat similar except the fact that the EVO 3D comes with better specs with a more advanced processor, bigger display, and more RAM. And look at the chart below, there’s no mention about 3D capture and playback capabilities on the HTC Kingdom. So, are you still anxious of this phone or disapointed?

But today we can get more info as the 911Sniper posted the actual ROM of the Kingdom and the Rider.

First of all, the HTC Kingdom is likely the EVO 3D. And from what’s inside the ROM it’s clearly said that this device is intended for Sprint indicated by the ROM (Kingdomg_Sprint_WWE…).

Using an intuitive and innovative approach to tablets, HTC Flyer combines natural touch and pen interaction. HTC also announced HTC Watch, a new connected video service that will debut on HTC Flyer tablet, and will collaborate with OnLive, Inc. to launch the first cloud-based mobile gaming service on a tablet.

“Clearly, smartphones have transformed our lives but as we observed how people use smartphones, computers and other technologies, we saw an opportunity to create a tablet experience that is different, more personal and productive,” said Peter Chou, CEO of HTC Corporation. “We are progressing down a path as an industry when people will no longer be in a single device paradigm, but have multiple wireless devices for different needs; this is the direction we are moving.”

Encased in a sleek aluminum unibody, the HTC Flyer tablet exudes the iconic style and build quality HTC is known for. It is also ultra-light, weighing as little as a paperback book, and compact enough to fit in a jacket pocket only. With a seven-inch display, lightning fast 1.5Ghz processor and high-speed HSPA+ wireless capabilities, the HTC Flyer tablet is perfect for those who have been waiting for a tablet that is both compact and powerful.

HTC Sense for Tablet
HTC Sense revolutionized smartphones by placing the person at the center of the experience.

A unique carousel of widgets puts a user’s most important content and information at the visual center of the experience. The HTC Flyer tablet also offers uncompromised Web browsing with Flash 10 and HTML 5.

HTC Scribe Technology
Touch interaction lights up the HTC Flyer tablet experience, but it also offers a groundbreaking pen experience.

HTC Scribe Technology introduces a wave of integrated digital ink innovations that make it easy and natural to take notes, sign contracts, draw pictures, or even write on a web page or photo.

HTC Scribe Technology on the HTC Flyer tablet transforms traditional note-taking into smart note-taking by integrating natural onscreen writing with thoughtful and integrated innovations. A feature called Timemark enables you to capture the audio of a meeting in line with your written notes, so tapping on a word in your notes instantly takes you to that exact place in time in the audio recording of the meeting.
