HTC has released the official advert for its first tablet, the HTC Flyer. Announced at Mobile World Congress last week, the desirable 7 inch device managed to win critics over with some intuitive features, despite not running Android 3.0 Honeycomb.The Flyer bucks the touchscreen trend and comes with a special pressure-sensitive stylus that can be used to take notes. It’s probably more useful for business folk than anyone else but even so, it’s a little different and makes the tablet stand out. HTC’s Sense user interface shows up over Android 2.4 Gingerbread, which is seen by many to be its biggest downfall, especially with Honeycomb tablets being made official way before now. There’s a single core 1.5GHz processor ticking away underneath and the tag line, “a tablet for the whole family” suggests that HTC is aiming the Flyer at those who aren’t particularly tech-savvy.
We don’t have a definite release date or price point for the HTC Flyer yet, but a Wi-Fi only version of the tab was spotted on a German retail website going for €499 (£425). Now the manufacturer has got an advert online, the Flyer shouldn’t be too far away from the shop shelves.
