After the slew of recent device announcements… HTC is now busily prepping the follow up to it's ‚mini-laptop‘ form factor HTC Universal, better know as the SPV M5000, i-mate JASJAR, T-Mobile MDA Pro, O2 XDA Exec etc

The follow up to the Universal, codenamed the ‚HTC Omni‘, is set to offer a similar design, VGA support once again, and boosted connectivity with HSDPA support.

The Intel processor is expected to make way for a Samsung unit (similar to that found in the HTC Hermes).

From a form factor perspective, the HTC Omni will be slightly thinner than the Universal. Additional hardware buttons make an appearance, however an external LCD – a popular user request on the Universal – is not included in current designs.

The device will ship late '06 / early '07 with at least Windows Mobile 5 AKU 3 as standard, which enables in the base OS a feature that is expected to be a unique selling point to the Omni… the facility to output to a projector!

As the device is in early stages, much of the specification is still fluid… but it's sure to be a winner amongst existing Universal owners, who are understandably reluctant to give up their VGA screens!
