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.

Quad-core powered HTC Quattro possibly delayed until March 2012
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsHTC
Just the other day, we filled your head with the HTC Quattro. This is a high-end tablet that is expected to be equipped with a quad-core NVIDIA 3 processor under the hood, a 10.1 inch display with resolution of 1280x768, powered by Ice Cream Sandwich. We already pointed out that at 9mm, the HTC Quattro is just a tad thicker than the Apple iPad 2 and in addition to offering Beats Audio technology, Sense 4.0 is expected to be running on top of Android 4.0.

HTC to unveil quad-core tablet in February
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsHTC
HTC has not found tremendous success thus far with its first two tablet offerings. Despite a carrier deal with Sprint, the Sense UI, a unique note-taking feature called Scribe and a bunch of scantily-clad women toting the tablet at a few events, our sources suggest HTC Flyer sales have not been stellar. The company’s second tablet offering, the Jetstream, was priced out of contention here in the U.S., running $700 with a two-year data contract from AT&T. According to a recent report, HTC’s lucky number three will be unveiled in February at the annual Mobile World Congress show in Barcelona, Spain. Details are limited for the time being, but DigiTimes cites a report from Chinese-language Comm...

HTC to launch unique new tablet next year
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsHTC
HTC may launch a new tablet next year that it hopes will be distinct in a growing sea of Android tablets, Reuters recently reported. HTC already has a number of Android-powered tablets on the market including the 7-inch Flyer (EVO View 4G on Sprint) and the AT&T Jetstream 4G. “[The] tablet is a market we would like to try and test, to see whether we can make ourselves stand out and prevent a me-too product,” HTC CEO Peter Chou said in a recent media briefing. The company could make itself stand-out a bit by being the first to market with an Ice Cream Sandwich device, possibly pre-loaded with HTC’s unique Sense UI. Its Flyer Android tablet was loaded with HTC’s Sense user interface but it lau...

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 ...

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.

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.

Rogers to soon launch an LTE enabled HTC Puccini?
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsHTC
A leaked document obtained by Mobile Syrup shows that Canadian carrier Rogers plans on bringing back the Puccini name on its variant of HTC's 10.1 inch Android tablet. The HTC Puccini was given the moniker HTC Jetstream for its launch on AT&T last week. Rogers has said that it would be launching an LTE tablet from an important manufacturer and this fits the bill. If the document is legitimate (and it appears to be, even with the misspelling of the Puccini name) the device will be known as the HTC Puccini LTE.
