UK retailer The Carphone Warehouse has given the HTC Flyer tablet a pre-order price of £600, which converts neatly to $US980. Quite a lot of pennies, even if that is for the 3G and Wi-Fi version. The price for the Wi-Fi only model hasn’t been announced yet, but if it’s not equal or lower than the comparable iPad 2 model, HTC might have a tough time on its hands.
A Staples training document has appeared, showing that oft-mentioned 8.9-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab, as well as 10-inch tablets from Acer, Toshiba and HTC. As HTC’s only shown a 7-inch Flyer tablet previously, we’re quite intrigued by this mention. [Droid-Life]
What to make of the 32GB HTC Flyer? It’s a 7-inch tablet, which we’re inherently sceptical about, but it’s one that we actually really enjoyed using. And at the listed Amazon.de price of €669 ($730), it’s going to be cost-competitive with the current-generation 32GB iPad. And will be even cheaper if they can get a sweet US carrier discount.
Like every other 7-inch Android tablet, HTC’s Flyer is essentially a very big phone. It even looks slightly phonier than the rest. But it might be the nicest oversized phone-tablet yet.
According to the always-rumourmongering, often-incorrect Taiwanese publication Digitimes, HTC’s got three tablets for the first half of 2011, with the first launching in the US in March.

The capsules’ interior look straight out of 2001: A Space Odyssey, and rolling in them must feel as slow as the movie itself: a complete trip—which allows you to admire views 45 kms away—takes 30 minutes.
