The HTC Flyer may be the best 7 inch Android tablet on the market today. It has a fast processor, excellent build quality, and a good display. It also has some features you won’t find on any other tablet including the HTC Sense user interface and an op...
Abstract: As an ink blogger , the feature I've been most enthusiastic about testing on the HTC Flyer is ink. The Flyer is designed for pen input in a way unlike other pen tablets before it. What I've found is the experience breaks out into quantity vs. quality. It'...
At $69 direct, the battery life, simple installation and very good call quality make this a strong product and I can recommend it without hesitation. Amazon has the device for just $41, which makes it an even better value.ProsLong battery lifeSimple to us...
There are dozens of tablets for you to choose from; why would you choose one running a custom build of Android 2, with what amounts to a prototype pen interface? There’s no reason to. But even as I disparage this device, I feel real excitement for its...
