Comes the month of April, and with it, opens the second quarter of the year; the one in which most manufacturers who prepare their weapons to compete with Apple's iPad 2 could launch their tablets (most with Android). One of those yet to come, perhaps the most peculiar, is the HTC Flyer. First, because it is one of the few, perhaps the only one from one of the reference manufacturers, that continues to bet on the small format that the original Samsung Galaxy Tab inaugurated.
Second, because its platform will not be, in principle, Google's specific for this type of device (Android 3.0 Honeycomb), but rather it is a very particular edition of the latest edition for mobile phones (Android 2.4 Gingerbread). And third, because it is the only one that comes out of series with a peculiar stylus pointer, which projects new utilities, such as the transformation of its seven-inch screen into a small canvas for the most artist users.

All this can be clearly seen in the first promotional video that the Taiwanese multinational has edited so that people start to know its device. In a fairly comprehensive piece, each and every one of the practical applications that can be carried out with the HTC Flyer is reviewed.
However, this advertisement, from which various television spots will be extracted (in itself, this video is too long to be broadcast within the usual schedule), does not yet expose the terminal's launch date. The only thing we know is that it will be in the middle of this recently inaugurated month when it will begin to be sold, at least in the United Kingdom, where it has been seen for about 600 pounds (which means almost 700 euros, at currency exchange).
