Flyer or Quattro? (HTC)

[Daniel Ratcliffe]

Hello guys, I'm in the market for a tablet and am dead set on a HTC one (for Scribe). Now, I am planning to use my tablet for working with the media (Adobe Touch Apps, can you get them to link with CS4?), as I am going to be pursuing a career in digital media. I already have two Wacom graphics tablets (and will hopefully be getting that monochrome signature one for mobile, can't remember name).

But I also want to have fun with it, use it for browsing (over my MacBook Pro), play some games on it (Angry Birds Space looks NEAT), etc. So my question is, should I get the HTC Flyer (I believe PC World now sell it for ?300), or wait for the HTC Quattro? The quad-core looks fantastic but will it be overkill? My phone for example has a 1.5GHz single core and it is blazingly fast (HTC TITAN). The Jetstream is unfortunately not an option as I am a UK citizen (it was never released here).

EDIT: I have purchased the Flyer.

HTC Quattro have launched , you might be queries about its feature-

10.1-inch Android-powered slate reportedly has a 1280 x 768 resolution (iPad: 9.7 inches at 1024 x 768), while packing the same AP30 Tegra 3 system-on-a-chip from Nvidia as the rumored HTC Edge smartphone.

But is it yet available for sale? That's what I would like to know. I got to play with a Flyer and it is a very nice tablet device.

Have you thought about the Lenovo Thinkpad tablet? It's 10.1in like the HTC Quattro and Jetstream, but it has a few features the HTC devices lack, like a full size SD card slot, and USB port for hooking up devices like a camera, and usb drive. It's also N-Trig like the HTC devices, and works similarly. Only downside, at least against the Quattro is uses the dated Tegra 2(kind of wish it came with the better Qualcomm S3 like the Jetstream).

That said if I had to choose I would go with the Quattro if you can afford it as the Flyer is using a single core cpu, which may or may not work well with those apps you want to use. Additionally, certain tablet apps(Photoshop touch is actually one of them) will not work on Flyer because of the lower resolution(but acceptable for 7in).

Oo, that does seem like a good idea. But how easy would it be to root it and load HTC Sense (probably 3.5). I want the interface of it, although the 25GB Dropbox isn't a loss for me, I have SkyDrive for that

I will be considering the Lenovo ThinkPad and the HTC Quattro then.
