Since its initial announcement, there has been somewhat of a backlash against the HTC Flyer for its lack of Android 3.0 Honeycomb. Several times word has surfaced that the first Android tablet from HTC would eventually receive an upgrade to Honeycomb, and today HTC reaffirmed that notion via Twitter. In response to a user mention lamenting the lack of the latest Android OS for tablets, HTC promised Honeycomb would arrive on the Flyer “shortly after launch.
This won’t do anything for other things the Flyer lacks, such as a dual-core processor, but should go a long way for helping its chance at success. Does the idea of Honeycomb on the Flyer make it more appealing to you? Even when it arrives, the Sense UI will most likely make any UI advantages of Android 3.0 obsolete regardless.
