HTC Scorpion: Is it a Tablet or a Smartbook?

This is all just speculation right now, but some information about an upcoming HTC product has popped up last night over at AndroiSpin. They supposedly got their hands on a build file from an “in-development” HTC product code-named HTC Scorpion (or HTC Olympian):

What’s interesting here is that the Chipset is rated at 1.5Ghz which hints at a Qualcomm QSD8672 Dual-core CPU. This rules out the possibility that the HTC Scoprion is a smartphone (the QSD8672 is aimed at smartbooks/tablets). The other juicy bit is that this mysterious device is also running Android 2.2…
Keep in mind that this is all speculation and that it may all be fake.
