Taiwanese electronics manufacturer HTC will soon debut its own Android-powered tablet. From the looks of a new promotional video, it could be a strong competitor in a very crowded market.
Dubbed the Flyer, HTC’s tablet will come equipped with accoutrements similar to most other Android tablets — 5-megapixel back facing camera, 1.3-megapixel front facing camera, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support — and a number of details not so common. The Flyer will run on a powerful 1.5-Ghz processor, backed by a full gig of RAM. The tablet will also support Adobe Flash and HTML5.
Most attention-grabbing is HTC’s inclusion of a stylus pen with the Flyer, the first of the Android tablets to have such an item. The video details some of the features made possible by using the stylus, including note-taking abilities on documents and web pages, the ability to put your John Hancock on electronic documents and an MS Paint-like application for the artistic crowd. While we don’t know how well the stylus hardware will work with the Flyer, its inclusion will certainly differentiate the tablet from its already existing competitors.
HTC has not set an official release date for the tablet, but reports say we should expect to see hardware by the summer.
