HTC to anounce new Android device on June 24th?

On Wednesday we reported that HTC was planning an event for June 24th, in London. The Chinese language Economic Daily News has printed a story that the event will be to show off a new Android based device, the HTC Hero. The newspaper goes on to say that the handset will be available with or without a QWERTY keyboard. The model with the keyboard will be called the HTC Memphis or HTC Lancaster which AT&T will have an exclusive to sell in the U.S. for 6 months beginning with the third quarter of this year. We have saved the most exciting news for last. While the Hero will be an Android device, it will be shipped with HTC's popular TouchFLO 3D UI according to the report. Last month, we published pictures of what could be the Hero's home page.
