Until few weeks ago, we just knew HTC Flyer & Jetstream, the only two tablets from HTC. But Mobile World Congress 2012 is coming up and it looks like the HTC Quattro will be HTC’s new flagship tablet unveiled alongside phones like the HTC Edge and HTC Ville.
While we’ve already heard a bit about the HTC Quattro with it’s quad-core NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor, 10,1-inch display, 1GB of RAM and Beats audio integration, today’s story centers around a new image which hit the web today, reportedly taken by the HTC Quattro. Since the Android tablet is expected to feature a 2 megapixel camera on the back, we’re not at all surprised by the gainy image.
In mid-November, HTC’s Peter Chou mentioned that HTC is still interested in the tablet market, but hinted that HTC may be working on something unique which could give HTC an edge over the competition

Well, if a low quality camera helps bring down the cost of a great tablet, I’m all for it. After all, it’s a tablet not a camera.
Personally, I hope they really persevere with (or at least continue supporting) the Scribe technology. That is still pretty unique amongst tablets and may help secure a potentially important market in business & academia.
Hi Gabriel 🙂
Problem is that HTC France told us Scribe will not on this Quattro Tablet… :/
The low Camera (2MP) can brings surprises ! After all it can take videos in Full HD.
Hi Bruno
Thanks for the info about Scribe. Interesting and disappointing in equal measures. Maybe there’ll be another tablet that HTC will release with Scribe on it. Would seem a shame to have invested time and effort into it to then discard it. Perhaps the lack of news on this since the Flyer suggests this is exactly what’s happened.
Separately, could the 2MP picture simply not be from the front facing camera?
It could be from the from camera, but that one is expected to be just a 1.3 MP shooter. I personally don’t care much about taking pictures with tablets. As you mentioned it’s not a camera. All i want is that is can do high-def video streaming for video chat with Gtalk or Skype.
