The editors didn't like
Not so great with taking photos & videos
Somewhat pricey
Because it is such an integral part of the Flyer experience
I think it was cheap of HTC to not include a pen with the WiFi tablet — or at least offer a less expensive digital pen option
I have an issue where I can't seem to hold the stylus without act
Software doesn't solve any pentablet expected functions
And is not suitable for professionals
Small size makes writing on the device more of a hassle than it's worth
There is nowhere to keep the stylus on the Flyer
Prices vary greatly between retailer
Email is not tablet-optimised
HTC’s interface could mean a while before update to Honeycomb is possible
Average design that harks back to its smartphonesLook and Feel...

Easy to lose
No handwriting recognition
Doesn't sync audio recordings with Evernote

Can?t navigate device with pen
Poor camera
Fragile/fiddly rear cover
Sluggish at times
Nowhere to dock stylus without case
Not particularly fast or particularly cheap. Runs Android 2.2
Not 3.1
At least until HTC delivers the promised update. Stylus is a frivolous gimmick
Stylus costs $80
Poor camera quality
No OCR apps supported
The Flyer is small
Thick
And pricey
And isn't running Google's Android 3.0 tablet OS. Its most unique feature
The Magic Pen

We came, we saw, we doodled. The HTC Flyer is the result of a well thought-out and executed plan by HTC. It is truly differentiated from the Android tablet pack with its robust aluminum construction, Magic Pen inclusion, and more responsive interface, and...

Abstract: I think 3D is hilarious. It’s cute, really. I take my little ones to the theater and they enjoy putting the glasses on, jumping from left to right when it seems that the thing on the screen will jump right out and snatch them up. It’s a generally fun ...

Abstract: The Fire and Nook are eBook readers with tablet and multimedia features, while the Samsung and HTC are tablets first and foremost. All run Android OS. You’ll notice that as the price goes up you get more features, particularly in those marketed as tablets first...
Abstract: The HTC Flyer steers far away from the usual tablets of today. It opts for a 7-inch screen size instead of 10. It runs Gingerbread and not Honeycomb. It has proprietary stylus. If HTC was trying to differentiate from the slew of Android tablets these days...

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...
Abstract: Android tablets need a differentiating feature to stand out from the huge number available on the market. In the HTC Flyer's case this is an intuitive and accurate stylus input option which makes it a great choice for anyone looking to take notes in conju...
