Mashable! - HTC Launches a 7-Inch, 1.5 GHz Tablet

Besides the two Facebook-enabled mid-range Android smartphones and a slew of high-end Android devices, HTC has also launched a powerful aluminum tablet called HTC Flyer.

The device should really be flying with a 1.5 GHz CPU (single-core), 1 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage space (further expandable with microSD memory cards). It also features a 1024 x 600 7-inch screen, a 5-megapixel camera on the back and an additional 1.3-megapixel one on the front for video calls.

It’s a powerful machine, but it does lack one thing its competitors have: Android Honeycomb. That’s right, the HTC Flyer will be running an improved version of Android Gingerbread and a special version of HTC’s Sense UI designed for tablets.

Furthermore, with a 7-inch screen it’s smaller than most of its new competitors, such as the Motorola Xoom and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. HTC will probably have to follow up on th e Flyer soon if it wants to catch a sizable chunk of the tablet market.

How do you feel about the Flyer? Would you buy the device? Please, let us know what you think in the comments!
