News of HTC’s shares slump, following its revelation that it doesn’t expect to grow at all in the current quarter, has been met with a large amount of surprise in some quarters of the tech industry.

And then there’s the custom skin, HTC Sense, which although intuitive, is at the root of a series of update issues. So, what can be done? Here’s our plan to help HTC save itself.

Details of HTC’s second Android tablet have seeped out online. The curiously named HTC Puccini would HTC’s first Android Honeycomb tablet and pack 4G in the US. According to 911HTC, it’ll arrive with a 1280×800 WXGA display and a Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8660 1.5GHz dual-core processor lurking inside.
