Google's latest iteration of Android will be reaching out to several handsets on the HTC roster in the early stages of next year, if a note on the company's official Facebook page is anything to go by.

Over the last few months, many have been waiting for a smartphone running 'Mango', the new version of Microsoft's Windows Phone operating system, which was allegedly finalized back in July.
