HTC confirms it has Android 2.0 handsets in the works

Of course nobody expects Motorola and Verizon to be the sole benefactors of Android 2.0′s Donut-ey goodness in the long run, but in an age of increasing Android ubiquity it seemed odd to see them as the only ones with a more-or-less-confirmed Android 2.0 handset on the way. Well, Sascha Segan over at Gearlog did some digging and while Samsung wouldn’t confirm any Android 2.0 work, HTC was forthcoming in saying that it’s had Android 2.0 around for a while, and is working on it for future phones. Perhaps the HTC Desire (dubbed Droid Eris) or the Passion will be one of those phones? It would be odd to see Verizon introduce a 2.0 handset from Motorola and only 1.5 or 1.6 handsets from HTC, but we’ll just have to see how it all goes down next month — Motorola sure seems buddy buddy with Google on this one. But if Dell could track down a copy, we don’t see how far behind HTC could be on this one.
