As hard as the world has worked to get away from styli and toward fingers, HTC — in all its quiet brilliance — decided that it’d still make a poker available for its mighty, capacitive HD2; after all, how else are you going to pinch and zoom with those adorable mittens on? After some delays, at least one British retailer now has those official HTC-branded units in stock — you won’t have any place inside the phone to stow it, of course, but we’re sure you’ll figure something out. Heck, even if you do end up losing it, they’ll be more than happy to charge you 17 quid (about $28) for another, so rest easy and keep those digits toasty.

What good would the rumor mill be if it didn’t voice our innermost desires? Apparently not content with giving us the roomy 4.3-inch HD2, HTC is now said to be actively testing out fully fledged tablet devices. Slated (get it?) to be driven by Google’s Android and minimalist Chrome OS, multiple varieties are currently being run through their paces and there’s even word that “core HTC customers” will get to check them out at CES. Who these doyens are and whether they’ll be so kind as to leak us a few photos is unknown, but word is that Qualcomm and Adobe are engaged to provide their hardware and software knowhow — making for an impressive corporate combo if nothing else. This is still strictly uncorroborated, one-source rumormongering, but ain’t it fun?

Oh, HTC — never one to dodge the chance to keep us on edge, are you? Half a year after we heard that the self-proclaimed “quietly brilliant” company was working on an Android netbook with T-Mobile, HTC’s own CEO Peter Chou confessed during a recent interview that those very wheels were still turning. During the frenzy that was the HD2 launch, he quipped that his company was still “carefully looking into [the netbook] category and how it can be part of that,” noting that nothing was official yet due to its desire to really add “unique value” rather than punching out another “me-too” machine. ‘Course, if Intel really does revamp its Atom lineup at CES, we’d say this is just about the perfect time for the company to come out swinging — after all, you know you still find yourself dreaming about the Shift from time to time.
