HTC Flyer is an amazing tablet, I was using it for more than a yearwent through an upgrade Gingerbread to Honeycomb, and it’s still just like new, like I bought it yesterday.
Note taking
Note taking with Flyer is an absolute pleasure, you can add a picture, audio or video clip with your notes. Though there is no handwriting recognition, you can write with the ease of a pen or pencil, (yes, there are few options when you use the writing mode like normal ballpoint pen, pencil, calligraphy pen etc.) Every time I go for a conference or University I always pack Flyer, where I can easily write and capture everything.
Office Applications
It’s a mini computer, with the help of office suite for android, like Quick Office you can create, edit, view Word, Excel, Access or you can use Microsoft OneNote to sync with your files through Windows Live Skydrive.
E-Reader
HTC Reader is probably the best e-reader I came across, not only because it’s great features and animation (like page turning which follows your finger just like a real book), but with the pen you can directly write, annotate, or highlight just like a real book. There are tonnes of auto features too.
Calendar and other apps
The Calendar feature is excellent, so advanced, yet simple. Great layout and it can sync with your online calendars too. Also you can download Dropbox and other software to sync your work and entertainment.
Extra features
Kidmode, dock mode, car panel, voice recorder, youtube, shopsavy, weather, stocks….there are lot of additional apps and features comes with HTC Flyer.
Camera and Camcorder
It has a very good camera and an okay camcorder, switching is so easy. I have got some excellent pictures, and videos, even from a running train. Rear camera is 5 MP and the secondary (front camera) is 1.3 MP.
Add a Sim Card
You can use your sim card for mobile operations, Internet or SMS, it is really handy when you are travelling or away from Internet hotspots.
WiFi and Connectivity.
Flyer has great WiFi features, easy to configure, and automatically picks the right Wifi, when it comes to connectivity Flyer is simply amazing. Connectivity: Bluetooth, WLAN 802.11b, WLAN 802.11g, WLAN 802.11n
Processor
The 1.5 GHz processor is really good, there are better processors now, but I have never experienced any slow or resource heavy performance from my HTC Flyer.
Gaming
There are some great games for Android like Shadowgun (check the gameplay on youtube) and Flyer load the game within seconds, and reload it less than three seconds.
Play Store and Online apps
Access the play store for great android apps, with a built in apps like Google-talk you can talk to your friends without spending another penny.
Touch and Pen
Let me repeat again, pen is simply awesome and the multi-touch features are superb.
I know you probably researched Flyer for all the features. The purpose of this review is to tell you that it’s a great buy, even against the iPad as Flyer is feature rich and brilliant. I bought the Flyer when it was introduced to the market more than a year ago, and as I said, it hasn’t aged a day but performance wise it’s getting better every day.

Great little gadget. Runs flash which puts it well above the iPad. Tried that and this is better in many ways. OK the iPad is a stylish piece of kit and has a great feel to it but it fell short on in page scrolling (ie. scrolling through a list the whole page moves).
It is fast in delivery and has a clear screen with great graphics. The stylus is fun but unless you carry around the white pouch it would be easy to mislay it.
Have just bought a clear silicone cover for it which makes it much easier to hold - less slippery. It runs Kindle with no problem which is necessity for me.
