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

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
I, too, was taken in by the prospect of HTC jumping on the tablet bandwagon. While the likes of Motorola and HP have gone for direct competition to the iPad 10-inch model, HTC and Samsung (at least for now) have hung back a little and gone for smaller ...
The HTC Flyer is an interesting and largely successful attempt at a 7in Android tablet, but it needs Android 3.0 to unlock its potential. A better-suited operating system and a more responsive stylus won’t fix the bigger problem though - the Flyer real...

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.
Despite this, we love the HTC Flyer. It's definitely expensive, and we'd prefer to see more software options – both for video formats and a boost in apps designed specifically for Android tablets. It's easy to change the formats of videos, however, and...
The Flyer is pretty good. I can't imagine it ever being a sensation, or even terribly popular. There are some who are waiting for it and will overlook some of the problems but for those who are looking to pick up a tablet you will find better elsewhere...
Stylish design, Fast performance, Styus is a very useful addition, Slick interface, Portable and easy to hold
Stuck using Android 2.3, Too expensive, App support limited, Stylus doesn't dock inside tablet
The HTC Flyer has lived up to our expectations in terms of the experience it delivers. It's beautifully made, easy to use, fast, and that stylus is great. However, not only do we have reservations about the current and long term app support but currently ...

A cracking super portable tablet, that could be even better with Honeycomb...

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...
