  • Topnotch digital notebook
  • Cool stylus facilities such as drawing on photos
  • Sense interface is really easy to use for navigation
  • Decent social and web apps
  • 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
  • It's al
  • Good size

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:  A fine 7in tablet, and the lack of Android 3 doesn’t hurt it much, but the price is far too high HTC is well known for ploughing its own furrow when it comes to mobile devices. It insists on using its custom Sense UI on Android smartphones, and its fir...

  • The HTC Flyer certainly succeeds where other Android tablets have fallen down, in that it provides a slick, nicely designed user interface. We really love how HTC Watch is implemented and how the Magic Pen/stylus works; we had hours of fun doodling on ...

  • Stylus, HTC Sense overlay, smart bezel
  • Slightly creaky, no Android 3.0 skills
  • There’s no question that this is the best 7-inch tablet on the market right now. Comparisons with the iPad and 10-inch slates are inevitable, but are only relevant because both are slightly luxurious product types that people want rather than need. If ...

  • NonHTC apps don't suit the big screen, Terrible battery life compared to competitors, Doesn't run the latest version of Android
  • The 7-inch HTC Flyer is generally slick and easy to use, but it doesn't run the tablet-optimised version of Android, so certain apps are out of bounds until a software update arrives....

  • Abstract:  When it launched, the HTC Flyer was based on the Gingerbread Android 2.3 smartphone OS, rather than the tablet-centric Honeycomb, although an update is due in the near future. However, for the time being, the Flyer is still stuck in a Gingerbread-flavoure...

  • Small form factor and pen design is excellent for children, The 1.5GHz processor is blazingly fast, even for a singlecore CPU, The pen ($50 addon) functions well and is highly accurate
  • Software doesn't solve any pentablet expected functions, and is not suitable for professionals, Small size makes writing on the device more of a hassle than it's worth, There is nowhere to keep the stylus on the Flyer, Prices vary greatly between retailer
  • The Flyer is a solid tablet, but professionals shouldn't confuse it with a serious business tool. I...
