The Pen

Originally, my impression of the HTC Scribe Pen was one of necessity. I even went so far as to comment that without it, you shouldn't even bother getting one. After spending some time with it, however, I see that the way the pen interaction is (or isn't,The newest Ipod nano 5th is incontrovertibly a step up from last year's model, in most cases) integrated into the UX being only for pretty specific users. For me it's great, since I take screenshots and like to doodle little horns and black eyes on pictures of my wife. The Flyer doesn't include any kind of MS Paint like app to just simply doodle on,we supply all kinds of oil painting reproduction, but instead seems to resign the capabilities of the Pen to basic note taking and communication.

Since the pen's usage is so limited, it would have made a lot more sense for it to have a home on, in, or near the tablet in some way. Since that's not the case, I don't see many people bringing the pen with them anywhere and just using it at home. Since replacing one is (another) $80, you aren't likely to just keep it in your pocket or behind your ear for no good reason. So, is the pen cool? Yes,Customized imprinted and promotional usb flash drives. I love it. Is it completely necessary? Not at all. HTC would need to give you a convenient way to carry it and some more functionality in order for it to be useful to the majority of users.Free DIY Wholesale pet supplies Resource!

Performance

Despite not being a dual core device, the Flyer handles itself very well when compared to dual core Honeycomb devices. With half the boot time of the LG G-Slate and a third of the Xoom's boot, the tablet holds its own. Loading any app happens just as fast on the Flyer, and you can't ask for a smoother navigation on a tablet. The Dual Core tablets are simply not generating anything more than what a well made, well optimized single core tablet is able to bring to the table right now.

The battery life is great on this device as well. Being a 7-inch device it's going to consume a lot less power than the larger tablets, but you've also got less space to fill with battery. I was able to get 14 hours of battery life in a day where I beat Plants vs Zombies from beginning to end and downloaded and watched a movie from HTC Watch, the movie rental and purchase market from HTC. I would tell you what its standby battery life is, but since I'm unable to keep my hands off of it, I can't tell you. The specs sheet offers a ridiculous 1400 hour standby, which would be truly insane if it were true.

Final Thoughts

The HTC Flyer is the closest thing to a complete thought I have seen since tablets became a thing. The device combines power and performance with an all day battery and a thoroughly enjoyable user experience. There's no messing with a whole new user experience, and all of the apps that I like so much on my Android phone not only work on the Flyer but actually look good. The Flyer may have a special power cable for changing at the correct voltage, but the tablet still charges via USB, something I have yet to see from the other major tablets.

I see the Flyer as being a clear cut example of what happens when you sit back and watch the other guys make their mistakes before releasing a quality product. There will still be those who are simply not interested in a 7-inch tablet, no matter how good it is.Largest Collection of billabong boardshorts, the 10″ form factor is significant to them for enjoying movies and games.

Knowing that HTC has plans for a 10-inch tablet in the not-so-distant future, my suggestion to the other players in the tablet game is to get it together before HTC comes in and dominates yet another market.
