    Any news on honeycomb?

    Here's the source for mine: [Guide][Flyer]Honeycomb S-OFF, Easy Install, Recovery and Root. [Offical HC release] - xda-developers There is a lot of development going on over at xda-developers - just check out the Flyer forum. For the record, I disagree with HalizDad - on the HTC Flyer Wifi only...

    Any news on honeycomb?

    That's why I went with the third party HC update based on the released HC for Flyer. I got tired of waiting. In HTC speak (who sold the origianl Flyer WiFi last May it would updated shortly), my quess is my email reply from HTC above means POSSIBLY some HC love by Valentine's Day?:'(:cool:

    Thoughts on Flyer

    I just use the spread gesture and quickly switch screens in the same way you do folders. That's why the call it "personal" computing. Above all, the Flyer, at it's new price point, is the best tablet out there (I've owned an iPad, iPad 2, Nook Color (CM7), Galaxy Tab; and test drove Xoom and...

    Any news on honeycomb?

    I hope this is the case as well. With Google announcing that Android 4 (ICS) will go open source in the next few weeks, it should provide fuel for the developer community even if HTC drops the ball.

    Any news on honeycomb?

    Obviously XDA got its hands on the real deal - but I'm too much of an Android noobie to risk bricking my Flyer to get pen action in all apps. In fact, the issue of teh pen working at the OS level bothers me a little bit because I've found Windows 7 Tablets often get confused between pen input...

    HTC Stylus - Can I Use Another Brand?

    I got my two eBay pens this weekend. Had to buy my own AAAA batteries; they work just as well as the "silver" pens from Best Buy, and I think they look a whole lot better. In fact, they look juts like the Fujitsu pen but comes with TWO buttons which are great for the HTC so supports erasing and...

    Death Knell ?

    Guess this is one of those rare moments of optimism I have (nickname is Eeyore). The $299 price point is breathtaking (although I really stopped breathing for a few minutes yesterday at $99). I have no doubt we will get Honeycomb, but just wonder if it will truly be better, and as snappy, as the...

    Anyone interested in this over a Wi-Fi only HTC Flyer?

    Now that the Flyer is $299, this is an even tougher question. With contract, the total price of the View ($399) plus the 2 year at $45 for 3g-3gb/4g-unlimited, brings the (not so) grand total to $1,479. :mad:

    Flyer vs Kindle Fire

    This one is truly a no-brainer for anyone who would be reading this forum, and anyone with even a shred of technical ability. For only $100 more than the Kindle Fire, you get double the internal memory (16gb); double the ram (1gb); micros SD slot (up to 32gb, for total of 48gb of storage); HDMI...

    Drive other prices down?

    Why do you think they named it "Fire?" Because it has lit the match under the rest of the Android market. Sure, there are better features on the "upscale" Android tablets, but in reality, what do the Xoom, Samsung, Acer, RIM, Asus, Toshiba, HTC, and other lesser knowns really deliver that make...

    Amazon missed the boat

    Oh darn, I thought of myself as fairly tech-savvy and I pre-ordered teh minute it was up. I want something that will keep my MS Exchange mail synced (Touchdown), smooth web browsing, and all the reading/viewing/listening I want. And for $199, not shabby...that's why I've got a 4lb heavy iron...

    NC Software update??

    Heard a variation on this myself two nights ago. The "Nook Guru" as the manager calls him stopped me while looking for a slipcover case and asked how my rooted Nook was working. We discussed Froyo on emmc, and that was what he had been experimenting with. Then he dropped this nugget - by summer...
