First Look: HTC Flyer 7-inch Android tablet revealed

HTC just revealed its 7-inch Android tablet called the HTC Flyer at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The Flyer, which is expected in Q2 2011, runs a HTC-Sense modified version of Android OS 2.4 (Gingerbread) and not the tablet-centric Honeycomb version 3.0.

Decked out in a unibody aluminium enclosure and with a bright 7-inch 1024×600 screen, the Flyer aims to be ultraportable yet powerful with its 1.5GHz single-core processor and 1 GB of RAM. The HTC Flyer joins the original Samsung Galaxy Tab and the RIM PlayBook in the 7-inch tablet space.
