HTC also today announced its first tablet, the HTC Flyer. HTC Flyer blends HTC's trademark design language with an all-new HTC Sense user experience that has been reimagined for the tablets. It combines natural touch and pen interaction. HTC also announced HTC Watch, a new connected video service that will debut on HTC Flyer tablet, and will collaborate with OnLive, Inc. to launch the first cloud-based mobile gaming service on a tablet.
Encased in an aluminum unibody, the lightweight (420 grams) HTC Flyer tablet is compact enough to fit in a jacket pocket only. It has a seven-inch display, 1.5Ghz processor and high-speed HSPA+ wireless capabilities.
HTC Flyer's tablet-focused HTC Sense experience focuses on delighting people with its 3D home screen. A carousel of widgets puts a user's most important content and information at the visual center of the experience. The HTC Flyer tablet also offers Web browsing with Flash 10 and HTML 5.
The new HTC Scribe Technology introduces a wave of integrated digital ink innovations that make it easy and natural to take notes, sign contracts, draw pictures, or even write on a web page or photo. A feature called Timemark enables you to capture the audio of a meeting in line with your written notes, so tapping on a word in your notes instantly takes you to that exact place in time in the audio recording of the meeting. Notes are also integrated with the calendar so when there is an appointment reminder you are automatically prompted with an opportunity to begin a new note or in the case of recurring meetings, to continue where the last meeting left off. In an industry first, the HTC Flyer tablet also features built-in synchronization with Evernote notes application and service.
The HTC Flyer tablet premieres HTC Watch, HTC?s new video download service. The HTC Watch service enables low-cost on-demand progressive downloading of High-Definition movies from major studios.
The HTC Flyer is also the first mobile device in the world to integrate OnLive Inc.'s cloud-based gaming service. OnLive is letting people play top video games on their televisions and computers without the need to buy expensive gaming hardware or software. When integrated fully, the OnLive service will enable customers to pipe the OnLive service through the HTC Flyer tablet's broadband wireless to their television sets, or let them play directly on the tablet.
HTC Flyer will be available globally during Q2 2011.
