The HTC Flyer as first glance looks great. Look closer though; it’s 7″ screen may not be enough real estate to keep you in the moment. I was interested to see what HTC would do in the tablet space. I will say I am impressed at first. It will be a strong competitor to the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7″ but not the Xoon or iPad.  Why you may ask?

First I do not want an accessory that I am going to lose. That is what will happen with the Scribe pen. The note taking and drawing you can do with it are wonderful. I only ask one question; LiveScribe are you getting a check? The pen and recording software is a blatant rip off  of the LiveScribe Pen. HTC boast that you can sync your notes with Evernote but so can iPad.

For the entertainment side of things. Music was glanced over but not shown off. What was shown off was a program called HTC Watch for streaming movies.   The prices are 1.85 rent & 9.99 to buy. No Netflix or Amazon buddy

One can not be in tablet fight without some gaming. It’s big business just as Angry Birds and Farmville addicts. The Flyer has access to OnLive; the streaming game system. Now not much is know about this yet since  only the Arena was shown. No actually gaming.

The Flyer looks great. The UI is classic HTC simplicity at its best. No word on what networks it will be on or price just yet. We will hold out full judgement untill more information is released but 7″ is not going to cut it.
