With plenty of manufacturers announcing tablet PC's of their own without any prior experience, it would be daft to consider that HTC will not be part of it. HTC has been making quite a lot of high-end phones over the years, but the segment of tablet PC will be entirely new to the company. However, they seem to have got the basics right with their first product itself. It is the HTC Flyer that will form the basis of the company's entry into the segment and a number of specifications of the tablet PC have been leaked on the Internet in the past few days.

The images of the HTC Flyer show an incredibly good looking tablet PC that is similar to the BlackBerry Playbook that has also been launched recently. However, the HTC Flyer seems to be similar only in terms of looks and in every other department, it is extremely different. The touch screen of the HTC Flyer is 7 inches in size and it is capacitive. It will be capable of supporting images at a resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels. It is a resolution that is almost in the territory of laptop ...
... resolution and this 7 inch touch screen display makes it look even better. It is easy to note that the HTC Flyer has taken a number of features from its range of mobile phones and that is certainly a good thing because HTC phones, of late, have been extremely good in terms of features.

Due to the launch of a number of dual core smart phones, there was a possibility that this new tablet PC could also be sporting dual core processors. However, the exact specifications of the processor running behind the HTC Flyer are not known. Only the chipset rating has been revealed and it is processed the 1 GHz QUALCOMM range of processors behind this HTC tablet. The usage of the front facing camera that is rated at 1.3 megapixels and a rear camera that is rated at five megapixels takes care of all imaging issues. This is an area where the HTC Flyer really excels and the usage of both cameras has meant that you can now take full advantage of the 3G and Wi-Fi connection facilities provided in this tablet PC.

While the 3G and the Wi-Fi connectivity option can be used to download the information from the Internet, sharing the content that is downloaded is taken care of by the DLNA connectivity option in this tablet PC. Also, this option of using the HDMI output port, which is quite possibly the biggest omission from the Apple iPad. The HTC Flyer also supports video calls using Skype and the 3G facility makes it possible for almost no buffering in the videos. The tablet will not be featuring the Android 3.0 operating system unfortunately. It will be only having the 2.3 version of Android, which is not worse. The HTC Flyer is also expected to be coming with HTC's famed HTC Sense. You may also wish to explore more about HTC Gratia for other available deals.
