HTC Flyer to get treated to ICS in Q1 2012?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsTabletsHTCGoogleFlyerAndroid 4.0
HTC’s 7-inch stylus-supporting Flyer has seen its price slashed to the very affordable $299, then it was just recently updated to 3.2 Honeycomb, and now it’s confirmed to get further up in the Android hierarchy to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) in Q1 2012.
The update wasn’t officially confirmed, though - it slipped in a customer service rep mention in France, so we’d take it with a grain of salt.
Good news is that the first quarter of the year has already started and, if true, we’re left to wait nine weeks until the update arrives. Have you updated your HTC Flyer to Honeycomb already? Let us know in the comments below.

Honeycomb update for the HTC Flyer is reportedly starting to roll out across Europe
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsHTCFlyer
Even though we weren’t terribly saddened to find the HTC Flyer packing Android 2.3 Gingerbread as opposed to Honeycomb out of the box, seeing that HTC Sense for tablets offers a reasonable customized experience, those clamoring to see the tablet-optimized OS will surely take a liking to the reported news we’re hearing today.
From the sound of it all, it seems as though the long awaited Honeycomb software update for the 7-inchh tablet is starting to roll out – in Europe so far. Specifically, HTC Flyer users in France and Holland report that they’re started receiving the anticipated update that brings the device to software version 3.55.405.1. Rolling it out via an over-the-air process, which ...

HTC Flyer touches down at T-Mobile, Scribe pen not included
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsHTCT-MobileFlyer
US Cellular's got one and so does Sprint (albeit under a re-branded banner). So, where's the Magenta-friendly HTC Flyer we saw creep up at the FCC this June? Well, it appears T-Mobile's been offering it for some time to business customers only, but that exclusivity's come to a close. The 7-inch Gingerbread slate with AWS bands is curiously absent from the operator's own online site, but you can still snag it from HTC for $299 with a new mobile broadband plan or $454 with a contract extension. Sadly, neither party's tossing in the HTC Scribe pen gratis, so you'll have to make due with your own digits for navigating or just pick it up separately. If this is the Sense-laden variant you've been ...

Best Buy announced today that it is cutting the price of the HTC Flyer 7 inch tablet by $200 to $299.99 starting on October 1st.

HTC Hero S, Wildfire S, and Flyer all coming to U.S. Cellular
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesTabletsHTCWildfire SFlyer
U.S. Cellular has announced a trio of HTC devices to be launched next month. The Hero S, Wildfire S, and Flyer tablet will be sold for $199.99, $79.99, and $199.99 on contract after rebates, respectively.
The Hero S runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread, has a 4-inch 960 x 540 touchscreen, a 5 megapixel camera on the back, and 1.3 megapixel shooter on the front for video calling. The Wildfire S is a little more modest, clocking in with a 3.2-inch HVGA display, 5 megapixel camera, and 600 MHz processor, but at least it’s cheap. We’ve got a review over here if you want a closer look. Finally, the Flyer tablet measure 7 inches, but still doesn’t run Android Honeycomb, though there are unofficial ROMs av...

HTC Flyer tablet gets bootloader unlock tool
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsHTCFlyer
HTC has released the bootloader unlock tool for its 7-inch Flyer tablet. Previously available for the Sensation and EVO 3D smartphones, the bootloader unlock tool will allow users to install custom software on their Flyer tablets. A word of caution, though, as use of the tool will void any warranties. The bootloader unlock tool can be had for both the Wi-Fi-only and 3G versions of the Flyer, though it is not yet available for the EVO View 4G variant for Sprint. Enterprising users can download the tool from HTC's developer site now.

Images appear of Honeycomb on HTC Flyer
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsTabletsHTCGoogleAndroid 3.0Flyer
It was only a couple of days ago that a RUU (ROM update utility) leaked online that contained an early build of Android Honeycomb to the HTC Flyer, but now the guys over at XDA have turned that RUU into a flashable ROM.
The screenshots show what Honeycomb looks on the HTC Flyer with the Sense user interface. It is very similar looking to the HTC Jetstream currently available on AT&T. At the moment, this ROM is not quite ready to get pushed out to Flyer owners everywhere. However, it is nice to see that it is possible in the future.
When this ROM becomes available will any of you HTC Flyer owners jump at the chance to put it on your tablet? Keep in mind that you would have to root it if you...

HTC Flyer Honeycomb update leaked, custom ROM on the way
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsTabletsHTCGoogleAndroid 3.0Flyer
HTC Flyer users, how would you like to see Honeycomb powering your 7 inch tablet? Thanks to a leaked Honeycomb ROM Update Utility (RUU), you can head over to the sourcelink and download what is called a "very early beta build" of Honeycomb for the HTC Flyer. Of course, by doing this you might not be able to root your tablet or put it through the wayback machine to load a more stable version of the OS.
If you want to wait for the custom ROM, well that is an option for you as well. If you go ahead and take the risk of downloading the Honeycomb RUU for your HTC Flyer, let us know how it goes by dropping us a comment in the box below!

Best Buy now offers Wi-Fi only HTC Flyer with stylus for $499.99
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksHTCFlyer
Looking to grab yourself the HTC Flyer but don’t want a carrier (Sprint) contract? There’s the Wi-Fi only version which up until this point was available for $499.99 via Best Buy. There was one caveat though – that money didn’t get you the stylus, which the electronics retailer sold separately for $79.99. In total you had to pour out $580 for the combined package. That’s a lot of money and although we love Flyer, we’re not sure pretty confident it’s not worth it. Heck even $500 is a lot of money, but then again there still isn’t that many options in the 7-inch tablet market. Hopefully that will change soon, but in the meantime – those of you with the cash and urgent need to spend it can proc...
