HTC Flyer Available at Best Buy from $500

If you folks would rather have a WiFi-only version of the HTC Flyer – HTC’s non-Honeycomb tablet – then look no further than Best Buy as it’s now available for $499.99. The device is running Android 2.3 with HTC’s tablet-centric version of HTC Sense. It has a 7 inch display, a 1.5GHz single core processor, 16GB of internal storage, a VGA front-facing camera with a 5 megapixel back camera, and  – of course – compatibility with HTC’s Scribe digital pen.

As far as that pen goes, you’ll have to plunk down an extra $80 for the thing if you really want it. The Scribe pen allows the Flyer to enable certain functionality – such as hand-written notes and drawing – automatically. Many have anticipated its capabilities for use cases such as school and work where writing notes on a tablet may be favored over a traditional pen and paper setup.
