HTC Edge by April 2012 but Samsung, LG, Moto readying Tegra 3 rivals
HTC’s recently leaked Edge smartphone is expected to drop in March or April 2012 complete with NVIDIA’s freshly confirmed Tegra 3 quadcore chipset, sources have suggested, but the company may be pipped to market by Tegra 3 handsets from Samsung, LG and Motorola.

HTC Quattro, Cybertron, Elite, and more appear on device code-name list
There's been a leak of a relatively long list of what appear to be code names for devices manufactured by HTC this week, with several of the names having been made and released already and a whole lot more looking rather new with no assignment given to them as of yet.
