The editors didn't like
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
May not come included and is expensive to replace
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...
Outdated
Nontabletspecific version of Android. Google Talk video chat isn't supported in Gingerbread. Slow browser performance. Cluttered default layout. Cameras are only mediocre.
Expensive pen is optional
Easy to lose
No handwriting recognition
Doesn't sync audio recordings with Evernote
Low-quality cameras
Non-tablet-specific version of Android. Google Talk video chat isn't supported in Gingerbread. Slow browser performance. Cluttered default layout. Cameras are only mediocre.
Pen not bundled in US
Flyer only runs smartphone apps at launch
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
Expensive
Outdated OS
Single-core processor
PriceHeavy and chunkyFew apps optimized for screen size
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...

Not so great with taking photos & videos, Somewhat pricey
The HTC Flyer’s user interface does a good job of making Android more appealing to less techy users. But non-HTC apps in the Android Market can provide a rude reminder that most apps available for the Flyer were designed with phones, rather than a tab...
The HTC Flyer is a superb machine that jams in a lot of services in a small package. It's certainly one of the most innovative with its Magic Pen and OnLive gaming. It's priced at a bit of a premium compared to other tablets in its class which is justif...

Pen not bundled in US, Flyer only runs smartphone apps at launch, Can?t navigate device with pen
If you want an Android tablet for note taking and general productivity, the Flyer is your best option, provided you pick up the pen. If you just want a seven-inch tablet, it slightly bests the Samsung Galaxy Tab in overall performance, design and specs. ...
On a whole we will say that the HTC Flyer is a nicely built little tablet with a lot of attention given to the details. But in comparison to Apple’s immensely successful iPad 2, the HTC Flyer is comparatively thick and the screen of this tablet is hal...
The HTC Flyer is a beautiful device that has some elegant software, so is this 7-inch tablet worth getting over an iPad, Xoom or larger device? It's an interesting question because it opens up the question about whether there really is a market for a 7-in...
Abstract: HTC has come a long way in the last couple of years thanks to its excellent portfolio of Android smartphones. Even before Android, it was a prominent manufacturer of Windows Mobile powered smartphones. Who can forget the legendary HD2, the 4.3 inch monste...
Solid industrial design, Mesmerizing and high quality display, Latest version of Sense UI, Unique offering with HTC Scribe technology
Not so great with taking photos & videos, Somewhat pricey, Stylus sold separately from Best Buy
In reality, we’re not all that concerned that HTC decided to move forward with having Gingerbread on board with the Flyer as opposed to Honeycomb – mainly because they did a fantastic job with Sense running on top of it. Undeniably, we love how they ...
