One of the star launching today at Mobile World Congress has been the HTC Flyer. The tablet made by the Taiwanese manufacturer is a long shot to compete with the models presented by LG, Motorola and Samsung. For starters, the HTC Flyer is a 7-inch tablet with 1024 × 600 instead of 10 like the other models featured at the fair.
Honeycomb version does not incorporate Android, but 2.4 Gingerbread with a specific version of the HTC interface Sense. Finally, and not least, your processor is not a dual core, but a single core at 1.5GHz. Despite this, HTC has an undeniable charm Flyer and not a few virtues. Let's start talking about manufacturing.
The tablet of Taiwan is manageable with one hand, something that Motorola can not say the Galaxy Xoom or Tab 10.1. Its one-piece aluminum housing gives a weight of only 415 grams and an elegant design. The screen displays crisp and bright, and the Sense HTC interface is perfectly integrated into a desktop environment with 3D effect to fall in love to those who already love this interface in the mobile company.
In fact, HTC has offset the lack of Honeycomb emulating own applications very effectively tablet version of Android. The e-mail client, for example uses the entire screen horizontally with various work areas very similar to version 3.0 of Gmail, and with the added bonus of being compatible with more customers than Google.
With a 5 megapixel rear camera and front of 1.3, the HTC Flyer is also effective in videoconferencing. The camera application is also HTC, and incorporates a wide variety of effects and adjustments. Sense connoisseurs will also find the usual social networking hubs and time or RSS. To our taste, the element that makes the difference compared to other tablets of MWC 2011 is the stylus.
The Flyer is capacitive screen and shows excellent sensitivity to touch, but also incorporates an electronic stylus similar to Wacom tablets. The digital pen has two buttons, one to clear, and the other to select text and copy or paste. HTC has extended the use of this pen to everything on the tablet.
With it we can highlight and daubing on the same desktop, e-book on web pages. Then held one touch allows us to share your handwritten notes that we have done through a long list of services ranging from twitter to Evernote, Facebook or e-mail. The truth is that the versatility of the stylus very pleasantly surprised us.
The application of handwritten notes and drawings, for example, is simply sensational. When not to use it, we can keep the stylus on a beautiful white leather cover that comes with the device. Can a tablet with Gingerbread compete with larger tablets show? We believe that not only can compete.
If the starting price is competitive, it can become a real bestseller. In addition, Honeycomb still gives the feeling of being a little green. By contrast, Gingerbread is running smoothly and Sense is perhaps the only customization interface that actually works in the segment Android. Finally, and HTC have confirmed that the tablet is fully upgradeable in the future Honeycomb and this update will take about two months since the Flyer hits stores, the time required to dress HTC Bee Sense.
Not to mention the streaming video services and online game payment through the platform OnLive After all that, bet HTC does not seem so risky right?
