It seems like the stylus has become a thing of the past. While many mobile devices are now touchscreen, most make you use your fingers to interact. For some, this is a blessing, for others it doesn’t go so well.
The latest device to enter the tablet wars is the HTC Flyer and, among other features, it includes a capacitive stylus with HTC trademarked Scribe technology. This makes for a ”groundbreaking pen experience” according to HTC.
The tablet has a 1.5GHz single-core CPU, 1GB of RAM with 32GB of flash storage. It runs at a resolution of 1024 x 600, features dual cameras, and is running Android 2.4. According to SlashGear, the HTC Flyer “feels more solid than the Galaxy Tab, with a high-quality, flex-free chassis.” It also features cloud gaming via an OnLive app.
HTC says Android 2.4 will feel indistinguishable from 2.3 for consumers. The primary reason the tablet runs 2.4 instead of the tablet-focused Android 3.0 is that there wasn’t time enough to customize Sense for the latest Android OS. HTC’s focus is on Sense and they want to make it clear that Sense is more important to them than the underlying platform.
