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
Who is the HTC Flyer for? If the RIM's PlayBook is clearly geared at BlackBerry toting business-oriented folk, where does a smartphone-OS powered pint-sized tablet like the Flyer fit in?We think that Android smartphone users who are already familiar w...
Abstract: For artists and hand-writers, the HTC Flyer is a solid tablet thanks to its well-implemented pen-specific features. But if you're not interested in pen input, Android tablets with Google's latest tablet-specific Honeycomb OS are a better bet...
HTC’s first entry into the tablet market provides a very decent Android tablet experience due to a zippy processor, 32 GB of onboard storage and with both 3G and Wi-Fi present. One of the distinguishing features though is the Scribe note-taking techno...

Price, Dearth of compatible apps
Looking at the hardware specifications and the software packed on it, HTC Flyer may seem like an overgrown smartphone. Scribe technology along with the Magic Pen certainly does make the tablet stand out amongst similar 7 inch tablets. A stylish look and p...
The Flyer is HTC's first venture into the tablet space and I had high hopes for this as it looked like a winner right from the start, well at least on paper. If I may quote Morpheus from the Matrix, "Everyone falls the first time" , this is exactly wha...

The Flyer has an excellent UI running on good hardware, everything packed into a really compact and comfortable form-factor. Not once while using it did I miss the fact that it ran Gingerbread and not Honeycomb. However, there is no way one can justify th...
