My reason(s) for wanting the Flyer

[Chris Kerrigan]

I think what HTC is doing with it is unique. It'll undoubtedly be a better user experience than what we've seen with resistive screens. IMHO, they were always to blame, not the Stylus.

For me, stylus + 7" screen + Sense = WIN. HTC Flyer saved me from teetering over the edge into BlackBerry Playbook land, especially after Samsung decided that the next Galaxy Tab would be 10.1".

I want the Flyer because I love HTC hardware. Their build quality is fantastic. Does anyone know if the Flyer has that new Synaptics touch screen?

I would love the stylus, but no honeycomb at launch is a bad start (though they may update it before I'm in the buying zone). However, what really kills it for me is 7". Why are all the stylus tablets 7". A 10" tablet screen is about the same size as the writing area of a sheet of paper. As an Engineering student, so many diagrams and equations would work so well with that

Also didn't Asus have a tablet with a pen at CES? Where's that anymore?

Yeah, they do. Running Gingerbread (skinned) and it comes out in June/July I think.

Ill be first in line if a wifi only version is available...... sense on a tablet just screams heavenly.

What I love about the HTC Flyer is the 7" size and the Pen. What I hate about the HTC Flyer is not running Honeycomb and HTC Sense.

I was hoping that HTC will release a 7" Google Experience tablet running Android 3.0 and the HTC applications/widgets.

I'm now looking elsewhere for my Google Experience Honeycomb tablet. At the top of my list is the rumored Galaxy Tab 8.9. I'm hoping that it will be announced at CTIA.

Edit: I love HTC Sense on my Droid Incredible, but I don't want it on a tablet.

I want the Flyer too because it will probably stream Netflix.

I am eagerly waiting for the flyer, I have looked at the xoom. I have lost all faith in motorola products, they just lost their value to me over the years. I am very satisfied with my htc evo. I hope to have one in my hands very soon.

The 7'' size of the tablet would be just perfect to carry around. I've tried bringing my ipad to school thinking it was small enough and it's just way too big! (so I sold it)
If I feel like lugging around a 10inch tablet, I might as well bring my laptop to school!
Is anyone else wondering why it's believed to have a 1.5ghz processor in there while most other android tablets are running a Tegra 2 chip? (or is it just me?)

Its a passive screen, sucks I want the active screen its much better to write with...

I was just thinking the same thing. It is pretty effin big ... not heavy, just too big. I looked like an idiot on the bus or the train, or even in class.

I wish they weren't lagging so hard. Probably going to end up getting an SGTab for the interim.

Totally agree with you on this one. I like the 7 inch screen, I have a kobo ereader (which almost have the same dimensions as the flayer) and I carry it every where I go since I don't drive to work.

7" is where it is at. I might get the SGT until this is officially announced.

Hope HTC supports this like Samsung does with accessories.

400$

I am in

I agree with this. I think that's a good price point.

I'm with y'all -- pen, pen, pen. I am a mathematician, and also do music on the side, and don't see any good notation apps for either one yet.

Wifi only would be perfect for me, but the pen is really where it's at.

 

[yapkuen]

Woohoo, WiFi only will be coming to Best Buy in the spring!

 

[Ronindan]

Yeah glad to see that best buy is carrying the flayer. I wonder if it comes in black ;-)

I cant wait to try this thing our for myself when my local best buy gets them

7" is the size I want. (that's what she said) As a designer Pen is an exceptional bonus. I haven't finger painted since I was a toddler! (iPad i'm looking at you!) I was considering a Nook color to root, then Galaxy Tab 2 but find out it is 8.9 & 10.1? seems like a bad move to have 2 tabs, different sizes but not even 1 1/4" difference, and minimal price difference?
So as of now I am seriously anticipating the Flyer.

Presumably the tablet sense app will have scenes right? Like, class, home, work, etc?
