Its got 32 GB Internal storage + expandable via microSD card, 1GB of RAM, 5 megapixel camera with auto focus and a 1.3 megapixel front camera. It runs on the older Android 2.4 (ginger bread) ditching the tablet specific 3.0 (honeycomb) this has mainly been used to keep it compatible with their HTC sense interface which adds a lot of value to the user interface. However HTC has promised about an upgrade to honeycomb in the future.
