The new HTC flyer tab






HTC’s Flyer is a 7in tablet device, running the Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system, overlaid with HTC's Sense graphics user interface. It was launched in May.


We reviewed a 32GB model priced at about £550 + VAT, but there is a cheaper 16GB model costing about £480 + VAT (SIM-free). Both models have 3G mobile and Wi-Fi connectivity.


The back is anodised aluminium, capped at the ends by the white plastic fascia mentioned above, and a smaller one at the bottom housing the micro-USB 2.0 port.
The Flyer comes with a white leather-like pouch, which soon gets dirty, and has a touch screen stylus housed in an external holder at the side.


Specifications
Our HTC Flyer was running v2.3.3 of the Android OS (known as Gingerbread), running in conjunction with HTC's Sense user interface (v2.1).




The Flyer is powered by a Qualcomm SnapDragon 1.5GHz single core processor and can support a maximum of 1GB of system memory, which both Flyer models have as standard. The graphics subsystem is an embedded Qualcomm Adreno GPU running the screen at a native resolution of 1024 x 600.

Connections on the Flyer are limited to a micro-USB 2.0 slot for connecting the AC adaptor or a micro-USB-to-standard USB connector, and an audio headphone jack.

There are two silver volume control buttons on the top right-hand side of the Flyer (when held in landscape mode), and the on/off switch is located at the right-hand side near the top of the device.

Network connectivity
There are four types of network connections available on the Flyer – an internal GPS antenna, wireless connectivity through IEEE 802.11b/g/n hardware, Bluetooth v3.0, and users can insert a SIM card to get mobile access.
