The HTC Flyer: No Fly Zone


This is probably the best looking tablet. Yes I said tablet. Most people don’t think the HTC Flyer deserves the tablet name. This is mainly because it runs android 2.4 instead of running the tablet oriented android 3.0. There is HTC sense to make it look like a tablet but that’s about it. So what we have here is a big HTC Smartphone. But before going further with the criticism we need to remember the ipad and the Ipad 2 are also big iPhones. Personally I like the HTC flyer. The sense UI on top of android gingerbread looks good on the Flyer. It has just about the right size due to its 7 inch screen and the only downsize to me is the price.
The HTC Flyer has decent specs. It has a 1.5GHz processor; sorry guys no dual core processing. There is a 5 megapixel camera which should be decent. Connectivity is all there including 3G and this should be good news. There is also Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. I guess that is pretty much about the specs.
There is nothing much to say about the HTC Flyer. It is the first tablet by HTC and this is just geared to test the market and see what people want. So HTC don’t you think a survey would be much better? Tablets have also been here for a long time and if HTC was keen they would have known that people don’t want “just another android tablet”. Blackberry came up with their own tablet OS and people seem to like it. HP is using WebOS and I hope people will like it. Meego is eagerly being waited. HTC know their mistake and they have a new tablet lined up, well, at least according to rumors. It is a dual core tablet and it runs honeycomb. In any case the Flyer is a decent tablet and given the right price it can be a good buy. You also get access to the android market meaning that you have many apps to make your Flyer come to life.
