BARCELONA, Spain–With Apple, Samsung, LG, and Motorola all entering the tablet space, you had to know HTC would join them sooner or later, so we can’t say we were completely surprised when the Taiwanese handset manufacturer unveiled its first tablet today at Mobile World Congress 2011.
Everyone, meet the HTC Flyer. This Android 2.4 2.3-based tablet features a 7-inch Super LCD touch screen that’s encased in an aluminum unibody design. This is a design that the company has used on a number of its smartphones, including the HTC Legend, and we’ve always been fond of HTC’s craftsmanship, so we expect the same from the Flyer.
In all, the tablet measures 7.68 inches long by 4.92 inches wide by 0.51 inch thick and weighs just under a pound. HTC calls it a tablet that’s both compact and powerful, the power coming from a 1.5GHz Qualcomm MSM8255 Snapdragon processor.
The tablet also has 1GB RAM and 32GB ROM, along with a 5-megapixel camera, a front-facing 1.3-megapixel camera, HSPA+ support, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi. However, it’s not the hardware that makes the HTC Flyer distinctive, rather it’s the user experience and services that make this tablet notable.
