HTC Flyer
I guess I am one of the "vocal minority" that believes that the 7 inch form factor is just about the right compromise between portability and utility. I'm not here to convince anyone otherwise, but I disagree with at least two of this articles assessments. 1. The Flyer is not that thick and heavy relative to the competition. Honestly I think reviewers are just parroting this from initial reviews without much hands on consideration. 2. The Flyer is an Android 2.3 device, not 2.2. This is an important distinction given the enhancements that 2.3 has over 2.2. Again, I wonder if the reviewer actually laid hands on the device. HTC should have priced this device more aggressively, and making Best Buy the exclusive US launch partner is also dubious in my mind. Sorry, but I hate the blue shirts. But otherwise, I believe that this Tablet is quite underrated.
