I don't think it's laziness. I think it's more so the fact that you shouldn't have to pay $100 more for a phone with subpar specs that requires so many fixes (which also void the warranty on your $300 phone).
How does a potential 10.1" tablet from HTC make the Flyer DOA? Does this guy even know what DOA means?
They're geared at different market segments. It'll be fine.
