Would you find that actually taking notes on the Flyer will be distracting?

Like in a business meeting, class, or maybe looking for a house, if you bust out that Flyer, will its gee whiz factor be distracting to those around you? Could everyone saying "hey what's that" interrupt things?

Would you use it less because of that?

Some many people use laptops at my school. I do not see it being an issue.

There are youtube videos of peoole using an old school typewriter in lecture halls... so the htc flyer probably will blend right in.

When the iPad first came out, I found it very distracting to use it in public, especially in meetings. Since tablets were completely new devices, everyone wanted to know what it was. I find now that it's been over a year and tablets are in full force, very few people bother me anymore. The only potential issue with the Flyer is that if you hit the pen hard on the glass screen, it's going to be loader than with the rubber tipped capacitive pens on other tablets. I just got the Flyer the other day, so I haven't tested it in a meeting yet. Most meetings I attend are pretty loud, so I don't imagine it will be a problem. I will let you know how it goes.

I'm using Geniel Writer, and a targus capitance pen (I'm too cheap to buy the HTC pen). I've been using tablets in meetings for years...lots of looks, but it real well for me

Tablets are the future! It's funny though, cuz tablets arent anything new, i mean i remember tablet pcs over 5 years ago!

I spent most of last week in vendor demos and I was taking notes on my Flyer the whole time. I got lots of questions in between sessions because everybody wanted to know the deal with the pen, but I don't think it was too distracting.

Whoops, I forgot about tablet PCs, which have been around for a while. They never seemed to catch on though, since the OS was never really well designed to be used on a tablet.

By the way, the more I use the Flyer, the better I seem to get at writing without hitting the glass. Now my writing is quite silent, so this is definitely not going to be an issue.

Seems like a waste to buy the flyer then if you didnt get the pen. Might as well got a ipad2 or a galaxy tab 8.9.

If people don't use their tablets now, then the "wow factor" will just be delayed. Better to jump in and get it over with, I think.
