The elusive HTC Flyer made a quick stop-over at home over the week-end. It's been out since last month although HTC Philippines did not really made any official launch event (which should have been done along with the Sensation and Wildfire S). The HTC Flyer is a pretty solid tablet -- think HTC Legend, Desire S or iPad1 build quality. The 7-inch form factor seems like a good fit for a tablet that you want to always bring along with you outside -- not too bulky nor too heavy to carry around the whole day. The HTC Flyer does not come with Android 3.0 Honeycomb but the usual Gingerbread flavor for smartphones along with a custom Sense UI. I'm hoping HTC would release a Honeycomb update for this unit soon. Despite its capacitive screen, HTC took the plunge and included a stylus. At Php36,990, it would have been a great alternative to the Samsung Galaxy Tab if they released it in 2010 but at today's Android tablet pricing, anything beyond Php30k it's already bit much over budget of most people.
