We'd probably advise waiting until the next generation to see prices reduced to saner levels and refinements made on the software front.... The Flyer will find a market for itself, and there'll be a group of very satisfied users for whom it'll provide a unique blend of functionality.

It's missing some media features we've come to expect, it's expensive, it has relatively poor battery life and it doesn't have software suited to a tablet. quote

The HTC Flyer is a beautiful little tablet that resembles HTC's celebrated line of Android smartphones. Unfortunately, the Flyer is still a 7-inch Gingerbread tablet living in an increasingly 10-inch, Honeycomb world.

Personally I have come to love this tablet to the point that I rarely use my desktop anymore. It is the perfect size to carry around with me wherever I go, and the battery lasts forever. Some improvements would be a higher (1280x800) res screen, possible tegra dual core (however the single core...

I liked this device but the pen input was useless for me. Writing on the screen felt weird so I stopped using it. The pen is not useful for anything other than writing and drawing. I wish it would have interacted with moving apps on the screen and accessing menus, etc. So, when I moved to the...

The HTC Flyer just isn't a good tablet, its just a nice first try. The pen integration is lacking and the quality of the hardware (screen, g-sensor) disappointing. Please wait for a more reasonably priced next version of this device. Would not recommend buying
