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Outdated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

The question as to whether or not you should buy the HTC Flyer comes down to a simple question: How important is pen input to you? If you draw or doodle a lot, or like taking hand-written notes in your books, you'll likely be happy with this tablet. It...
