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...

Expensive pen is optional
Easy to lose
No handwriting recognition
Doesn't sync audio recordings with Evernote
Low-quality cameras

Can?t navigate device with pen
Poor camera
Fragile/fiddly rear cover
Sluggish at times
Nowhere to dock stylus without case

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Outdated OS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
Portable size, HTC user interface looks attractive, Useful stylus can take notes anywhere in the user interface
NonHTC apps don't suit the big screen, Terrible battery life compared to competitors, Doesn't run the latest version of Android
The 7-inch HTC Flyer is generally slick and easy to use, but it doesn't run the tablet-optimised version of Android, so certain apps are out of bounds until a software update arrives....
Abstract: When it launched, the HTC Flyer was based on the Gingerbread Android 2.3 smartphone OS, rather than the tablet-centric Honeycomb, although an update is due in the near future. However, for the time being, the Flyer is still stuck in a Gingerbread-flavoure...
HTC’s first entry into the tablet market provides a very decent Android tablet experience due to a zippy processor, 32 GB of onboard storage and with both 3G and Wi-Fi present. One of the distinguishing features though is the Scribe note-taking techno...
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...

Fluid OS performance, Splendid multimedia experience, 720p HD video recording
Price, Dearth of compatible apps
Looking at the hardware specifications and the software packed on it, HTC Flyer may seem like an overgrown smartphone. Scribe technology along with the Magic Pen certainly does make the tablet stand out amongst similar 7 inch tablets. A stylish look and p...
The Flyer is HTC's first venture into the tablet space and I had high hopes for this as it looked like a winner right from the start, well at least on paper. If I may quote Morpheus from the Matrix, "Everyone falls the first time" , this is exactly wha...

The Flyer has an excellent UI running on good hardware, everything packed into a really compact and comfortable form-factor. Not once while using it did I miss the fact that it ran Gingerbread and not Honeycomb. However, there is no way one can justify th...
