Features

• Fly through the web wherever you go

  Conveniently compact and light for travel, yet amazingly powerful, the HTC Flyer tablet with a 7" display and a superfast 1.5 GHz processor is perfect for web browsing at home, in the car or on a business trip. To make it even better, it features Adobe Flash support, multi-window browsing with pinch to zoom, and a clever quick look-up that lets you tap into Wikipedia, Youtube and other web resources.

• 3D fun at every turn

  No more hunting around for stuff, anything you want will come to you on a cool 3D carousel. Photos, entertainment, weather, calendar, mail, friends smoothly roll around at your fingertips, front and centre, while giving you a sneak peak of what's to come.

• Be in two places at once

  Whether you're stuck in traffic, working late, or halfway around the world, you can make live video calls to those closest to you on your HTC Flyer straight from your contact list. So you can say it in person as if you're face to face, no matter if they're on their PC at home, on their office computer or on the other side of the world using their HTC Flyer.

• A pen that's quite magic

  

  HTC Flyer's magic pen transforms anything. It can draw, paint, write, and even retouch pictures. It can be a highlighter for the reader (and by the way all your highlights will be collated when you're done). The HTC Flyer can link audio to the notes you take for work, and it can add voiceover to a storybook you're drawing up at home. Work or play, it's magic for the whole family.

• A games room wherever you go

  The HTC Flyer has pushed the frontiers of hardcore play with the integration of the OnLive gaming service. So as of today, you can forget about having to invest in gaming consoles. All you need is the OnLive game controller and you can instantly play the best games in the world anywhere you have a fast Internet connection.

• Hollywood on-demand

  With HTC Watch, HTC Flyer transforms into a portable cinema featuring a wide selection of the latest Hollywood blockbusters for on-demand viewing. And with an expansive 7" screen and superb SRS virtual surround sound, you can immerse yourself in the cinematic experience whether it's on a short break or a long drive.

• Amplify your audio experience

  It's not just the visuals that are impressive. HTC Flyer comes with dual speakers for a much richer listening and entertainment experience. Enjoy high fidelity sound with SRS WOW HD™ virtual surround sound.

  

• Zoodles of fun with Kid Mode

  Transform your HTC Flyer into a fun, safe and secure playground for your kids. Kid Mode opens up a world of brainy games, story books – that let you tell a bedtime story even when you're not there and art mode that incorporates the magic pen and lets their artistic side run wild.

• A library in your pocket

  There's no need to carry epic novels around with you anymore with a built-in library of classics at your fingertips. Flick through titles, and even highlight and explore a word or phrase through Wikipedia, Google, YouTube or the dictionary. Go ahead, kids and you can now download your favourite books straight to your HTC Flyer and take them anywhere.

• Capture life in HD
  Have you ever had a camera with a 7-inch viewfinder? It's an eye opening experience! Take great shots with the 5MP camera and capture life in HD with the 720p HD camcorder.
• More fun with photos

  Take family photos to another level with our new Snapbooth. You can change lenses or add effects to make moments more memorable. And when you're done taking the photo - use the pen to re-touch it, name it or turn your picture into a birthday card.

• Stay on top of your schedule

  View all of your calendar appointments on the big 7" screen. Every appointment, birthday, event and holiday gets plenty of space, so you'll never have to squint. It will even sync up with your email account, so everything that happens on your computer, happens on your HTC Flyer.

• One access point for all your mail

  If you've got a work email account and a private one, your HTC Flyer helps you by merging them all together into one inbox so you're always organised. They're colour coded, so you know what's what, and you can sort them by importance, groups or content. Super organised, just like you.

• All the details, all at your fingertips

  Life gets busy, so your HTC Flyer also becomes your personal organiser – always ready to jot anything down at a moment's notice. Use Evernote to keep notes, add pictures, take a voice recording, whatever you need to help keep on schedule. Evernote syncs up instantly to a secure online server, so you can access your notes either from your HTC Flyer, your phone or your home or work computer.

• Office on the go

  The HTC Flyer is small enough to take anywhere and powerful enough to get the job done. View and edit Office documents wherever you find yourself. And if the need for a hard copy arises - send it via Wi-Fi to a nearby printer.
