Runnymede, Runnymead, Runnymeade? It really doesn’t matter how you spell the ridiculous name for HTC’s front-runner for its new ‘Beats by Dre’ range of mobiles because it’s got a new more simple and to the point moniker – HTC Bass.
The new name has appeared on the retail website HandTec.co.uk which currently has a page marker up for the newly named HTC Bass musical mobile which packs the Android 2.3 OS and street-smart enhanced audio and sweet ear-gear as supplied by recent acquisition Beat Audio – the company which makes those ultra-slick headphone inspired by rapper-turned-record producer Dr. Dre.
The website gives us no product details and states that ‘price and full spec TBC’. However, from details already leaked we know that the 1.5GHz single-core CPU former HTC Runny-something-or-other will feature a generous 4.7” display screen and 768MB of RAM. Addition memory will be supported on microSD storage between 16 and 32GB. As with the music and media, the on-board shooter shouldn’t disappoint either – it’s an 8-megapixel shooter with dual flash and 1.3-megapixel front-facing webcam. For connectivity, we’ll be treated to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and the gadget will provide a GPS feature.
Just so you remember you’ve got a high quality piece of audio gear in hand – it’s got the Beats logo emblazoned on the back of the stylish handset along with the HTC branding so you won’t forget. We certainly won’t be forgetting the name anymore!
