HTC Flyer Hands-On

HTC Flyer Hands-On by Aaron

Aaron gets a demonstration of the HTC Flyer, the company's first tablet and yet another Android-powered device. It offers a 1.5 GHz processor, 7-inch display, a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera, a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera, and Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) with a tablet-specific version of HTC's Sense UI. A new feature is HTC Scribe, which allows the user to write on the display with the included stylus.

The unibody construction is quite nice, but it'll be a tough sell against other devices like the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and LG Optimus Pad. It's slated to launch in the second quarter of 2011.

Does anyone know if this would be good for note-taking?

[cyberlord64]

can't they deactivate the hand touch input altogether and allow only the input from the pen? keeping your hand in the air all the time can be tiring. Other than that this is what I've been looking for all my life!

@jacobh1995 Not really, that's why they invented paper

@lituvis1 I've got an Xperia Play and it's great for playing N64, PS1 and SNES games. The control pad is excellent. However, the HTC flyer is a 7" tablet that isn't as portable as the 4" Xperia Play.

As far as gaming is concerned, I would go for the Xperia Play simply because of the dedicated control pad, the Dual Shock feature with PS1 games when using FPSE and the portability. Not to mention that the Xperia Play has the benefit of a removable battery.

how is gaming on it?

and 'nother question

this or xperia play?

[EdVidz]

Are any pre-installed apps, such as Evernote, subscriptions? I don't want a tablet that has multiple companies billing my credit card every month.
