The 2 HTC tablets scheduled for summertime release

[hummingbirdhill]

Before I decide to retain my Flyer pre-order, I think I'd like to know about the two HTC tabs due out this summer:

Are they wifi-only? (I surely don't want a carrier monthly charge!)
Exactly what sizes are they?
Do they have honeycomb?
In what ways do they differ from the 7" Flyer wifi only? (Is there any reason I might prefer one of them to the 7" Flyer?)
Is a Scribe pen included in the package with either or both of these tabs?
Will other companies, besides BB, sell either or both of these tabs?

As badly as I need a tab NOW for my work, BB is charging waaaaay too much for the 7" Flyer plus pen--which could certainly make me wait for one of the other two!

I think there's at least one rumor that one of the HTC tablets is a 10" running Honeycomb. No word on whether Scribe will be part of its ecosystem. The leak came from a Staples training doc, so if it pans out, Best Buy won't be the only one selling an HTC tablet.

Where do the ultra-geeks discover info regarding "coming soon" cellular/wifi devices? I may want to keep an eye or two out for these expected two new HTC tabs.

What if the seemingly fantastic Flyer with which I thought I was in love doesn't meet my expectations? The marketing method of this device has left me oh so suspicious of this product. Being the initial HTC tab with Scribe tech may result in some buggy software; perhaps HTC doesn't want a customer immediately discovering that . . . Ha!

HBH, this Engadget tip-off might be of interest to you.

This is exciting . . . If it were a wifi only version, and if HTC and the retailer (which may be Staples) would let us know when to expect its launch, I might feel safer getting it than the Flyer. But too many "ifs" exist to decide right now to await it. I wonder what the other 10" HTC tab will be and when it will be . . . Perhaps it'll be wifi only!
