HTC Flyer launched in India, gets a pricey tag of Rs 39,890

HTC today officially launched the Flyer in India and gave it a pricey tag of Rs 39,890. The 7-inch tablet runs on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) rather than the tablet-optimized Android 3.0 Honeycomb version. However, that really does not have much of an impact on usage with HTC’s tablet version of Sense UI that makes the tablet much more usable than others running Gingerbread. It runs on a single-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm processor but in the past fortnight or so that I have been using it, I have never found it gasping for breath.

The Flyer’s USP is not its specs but the new Scribe Technology, which enables users to scribble on the screen with a stylus, which is bundled in the box. If the stylus is tapped on the screen, the system takes a screenshot and enables the users to scribble anything on it. The shot is saved as an image and can be shared with others. However, in the notes app (powered by Evernote) one can scribble using the stylus as any normal notepad.
