xda-developers has posted a leak of the HTC Android lineup for 2010. Leading the pack by far is the Bravo (formerly known as Passion). HTC has divided the devices into 4 categories, each targetting a different consumer market, Design/Lifestyle, Social, Performance and Productivity. The upcoming devices fall uder the following categories:

Design/Lifestyle: Legend, Salsa

Social: Tide, Buzz

Performance: Bravo

Images of the "Google Phone", aka the Nexus One, have been leaked on Twitter. Rumours are that HTC Corp. has been contracted by Google to manufacture the Nexus One and that it is scheduled for a January release. There is also talk of Google selling the Nexus One directly to consumers, bypassing any involvement by individual mobile carriers.

AndroidandMe has revealed Motorola's planned Android Application store, SHOP4APPS. The store is reportedly web based and accessible by any Android device, as well as by desktop computer. Initially browsable online, Motorola has just recently removed the site for continued development. ETA is unknown at this time so stay tuned!

It was an off and on affair, we discussed here and YES! I was right in saying that it would be HTC that builds it for Google! TechCrunch got the full story here.

Happy to announce Android 2.0 is coming to Sprint’s Hero & Moment. Date TBD, but roughly 1H 2010.

As you can see, it is now here!

Our friends at Android Central, 'leaked' the Eris update, it has a tool that makes it easier to update your Hero, the whole download is over 100MB and it fixes issues highlighted at our own thread. Download the updater tool here.

If you remembered correctly, we showed you this amazing device, and it is no longer a myth, we expect to see them at the January CES 2010 in Casino City. The race with Apple's tablet is well and truly on. Who will prevail.

Discuss here your thoughts on this device.
