Where is HTC Onlive?

Where is the HTC Onlive app? I thought it came preloaded? I wanted to try it out.

I second this question, This was something that made me want to buy the flyer.

i felt betrayed on this thing... no earphone at least.. proprietary cable and onlive is missing


WTF... this will go back again on best buy

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed this. Maybe it wasn't ready when it shipped and it will come with an update.....soon?

Looks like I'll definitely be holding off on buying this. I was actually hoping to play some of my OnLive games when I bought one.

Has anyone tried contacting HTC about this? The Asus Transformer had a similar issue that was addressed with a software update.

An HTC response embedded here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/faster-forward/post/htc-flyer-review-solid-but-pricey/2011/05/23/AGmxsDBH_blog.html

... At launch, HTC said the device would be partnered with the gaming service OnLive, but when I asked about that I was told OnLive “does not play a part in the US HTC Flyer.”

As many reviews and updates as I folowed on this tablet before I purchased it; this was not made clear on any of them. This still does not make me feel different about my purchase though. I am still happy with my purchase ao far.

So hopefully by time I'm ready to buy it, OnLive will be up and running on the Flyer

Well at least there working on it. I still don't think HTC should have used this as a sales pitch since it was not ready when the flyer was released.

I totally agree with you.

Engadget said it works pretty good. But it sounds like we need a controller....so they got us for $80 pen? Now what? $40-$50 controller? ugh HTC is nickle and diming us.

This here: OnLive celebrates 100th game, eyes UK launch and 75M TVs / Blu-ray players this year | This is my next...

... In February, HTC announced a ?strategic investment? of $40 million, and the first fruit of that labor was to be OnLive on its Flyer tablet. That didn?t go quite to plan and the slate launched without it. An OnLive rep now tells us to expect availability ?later this summer.?
