  • The HTC Flyer looks great. It's compact
  • Lightweight and easy to take on the road with you. It's slightly thicker than an Apple iPad 2
  • But it's more comfortable to hold in one hand
  • And we prefer it for longer periods of use. The 7-inch screen is one of this tablet's best features
  • Proving just about large enough to watch movies on or browse your favourite websites. At 1024 x 600 pixels

The editors didn't like

  • NonHTC apps don't suit the big screen
  • Terrible battery life compared to competitors
  • Doesn't run the latest version of Android
  • Too expensive
  • Not Android 3.0
  • Poor battery life
  • Limited connectivity
  • Lacks Honeycomb features
  • Pen can be tricky to use and costs extra
  • High price
  • Expensive
  • Not significantly better than its rivals
  • Lack of phone
  • Slightly creaky
  • No Android 3.0 skills
  • No Honeycomb
  • Not dual core
  • No space for the pen on the actual device
  • Email is not optimised for tablets
  • May be a wait for a Honeycomb update
  • Mediocre design reminiscent of smartphones
  • Unfortunately
  • The HTC Flyer stumbles when it comes to video playback – not because of any hardware issues
  • But because of a lack of format support. Other manufacturers – such as Samsung – offer support for all the major video codecs
  • So it's a shame that HTC hasn't followed suit.
  • Uses Android 2.3
  • Relatively expensive
  • Stuck using Android 2.3
  • App support limited
  • Stylus doesn't dock inside tablet
  • Not Android 3.0 Honeycomb
  • Runs Android 2.3 rather than 3.0
  • May be too small for some users
  • No compelling features

  • Abstract:  Product Round-up With Android 4 Ice Cream Sandwich upon us, it's a good time to take stock of the impact - or lack of it - of Android 3 Honeycomb and Nvidia's Tegra 2, the chipset and release of Google’s mobile OS that were hoped would knock the iPad o...

  • The HTC Flyer is a superb-looking tablet with enough processing power to drive its multimedia functions. Its high price tag is more of an issue than its use of the older Android 2.3 OS, given that other aspects of this likable tablet are so advanced. W...

  • Abstract:  It€s smaller than most current tablets, runs on an older OS and includes an old-fashioned stylus-like pen…how on earth will the HTC Flyer compete?€It might seem a little late in the day to launch a new tablet that isn€t running on the made-for-tablet Andr...

  • Delicious casing, Sharp 178mm screen, Sense 2.1 for tablet UI, Sophisticated drawing/writing stylus,
  • Not Android 3.0 Honeycomb
  • The HTC Flyer is a beautiful first entry into the tablet market for the Taiwanese manufacturer. It may not be quite as fast or as smooth as some, notably the iPad, but it's way more pocketable, with an impressive list of features and the stylus shows p...

  • Stylish, easy to use, good pen input
  • Expensive, not significantly better than its rivals, lack of phone
  • HTC's Flyer is a good tablet overall. Aside from the pen functionality it has little to offer over Samsung's older Galaxy Tab, though, and with its much higher price and lack of phone functionality, we wonder how well it will sell...
