  • Cool stylus facilities such as drawing on photos

  • 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

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

  • Expensive pen is optional, easy to lose, No handwriting recognition, Doesn't sync audio recordings with Evernote, Low-quality cameras
  • HTC deserves kudos for applying some much-needed innovation to Android tablets. The pen functionality is really compelling, making the Flyer a good productivity partner as well as an entertainment device. We also like the vibrant display, rich Sense in...

  • Is it an oversized phone (minus voice and 3G) or a really cool tablet? The HTC Flyer is both. It runs the phone version of Android OS and honestly looks like some of HTC's higher end Android smartphones, just bigger. But HTC's software turns this tabl...

  • This device will be running you $499.99 at Best Buy and, if you’re lucky, you can go in your local store and ask and it might be there right now. Online at the moment I publish this they’re still stuck on pre-orders. Other prices include English gems ...

  • Abstract:  HTCs Flyer is one of the first Android Tablets we've seen that could find a place in some new niches; Namely, pen input. From the outset I need to make it clear that the HTC Flyer isn't a professional handwriting recognition product. There is no on-the-fl...

  • All too often we criticize new tablets for trying to take on the iPad by photocopying its specs. Apple’s slate has undoubtedly changed – and dominated – the consumer touch device market, but it seems that sales success has blinkered many rivals to the...

  • We came, we saw, we doodled. The HTC Flyer is the result of a well thought-out and executed plan by HTC. It is truly differentiated from the Android tablet pack with its robust aluminum construction, Magic Pen inclusion, and more responsive interface, and...
