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Outdated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Outdated OS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
Topnotch digital notebook; cool stylus facilities such as drawing on photos; Sense interface is really easy to use for navigation; decent social and web apps
Email is not optimised for tablets; may be a wait for a Honeycomb update; mediocre design reminiscent of smartphones
Pros: Top-notch digital notebook; cool stylus facilities such as drawing on photos; Sense interface is really easy to use for navigation; decent social and web apps Cons: Email is not optimised for tablets; may be a wait for a Honeycomb update; mediocre...
A cracking super portable tablet, that could be even better with Honeycomb...

Abstract: A fine 7in tablet, and the lack of Android 3 doesn’t hurt it much, but the price is far too high HTC is well known for ploughing its own furrow when it comes to mobile devices. It insists on using its custom Sense UI on Android smartphones, and its fir...
The HTC Flyer certainly succeeds where other Android tablets have fallen down, in that it provides a slick, nicely designed user interface. We really love how HTC Watch is implemented and how the Magic Pen/stylus works; we had hours of fun doodling on ...
There’s no question that this is the best 7-inch tablet on the market right now. Comparisons with the iPad and 10-inch slates are inevitable, but are only relevant because both are slightly luxurious product types that people want rather than need. If ...
No Honeycomb, not dual core, no space for the pen on the actual device
This is a tablet for those that don’t necessarily want the latest features of Android, but do want something that will work, work well, and ultimately be familiar...
