[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bucklee:
I think 7" is an ideal size. I have a Gtab, iPad 2, and X201Tablet. My wife uses the iPad2, mostly to read online and play some games. My Gtab stays home, usually by my bed to watch movies via Upnplay, probably going to sell it. X201T is really nothing you want to carry around, I usually use that one for Detail sketches or CS5 work. However I carry my Flyer with me everywhere. Great for Train commute and surfing the internet during lunch, Free internet everywhere in NYC. I don't think Honeycomb is really going to make this tablet any better right now. How many apps are actually made for Honeycomb, what some 300+ or so? I know it is a lot of money, but I definitely make the most out of it. I actually do work and research for my work on it. To me it is well worth the price. Only thing I really want is more app for the Scribe pen. If anything HTC should make another variation of the Flyer with no Pen option and sell it for $100 less. If this is a simple case of techolust, I would just get the 10.1 until your next fix come on the market.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gabs2012:
If you like the 7" form factor then why are you going for the 10.1" SGT? In my opinion... the value shouldn't be based solely on the screen size. Judge the product's value as a whole and not just because it's expensive plus it's small since the product in its entirety has a different value proposition.

I read a few different articles regarding the G-Slate with the 8.9" form factor and they say it feels weird given the size... but they said that about the 7" too when it first came out.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] miakotamatsue:
I owned a Motorola Xoom for two months. Just returned last week for an HTC Flyer. I like the Flyer a lot better. Don't think because you're getting a dual processor and Honeycomb that the device will run fast. My Xoom was lagging. Many other people have the same experiences. The Flyer has a much more snappier experience. Honeycomb apps are not that much better. Maybe if you play games, the games may look better, but that's pretty much it. 7 inch is the perfect size for a tablet in my opinion. 10.1 inch is just not portable. You'll end up getting a bag to carry it around.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] frankic:
thanks guys I appreciate all your opinions. the truth is that you must consider price when making a purchase. We all do. it's hard to say that you are getting more bang for your buck with a galaxy tab but with a bigger screen, higher processor and thin build it must be considered. It's priced right for the market. You can make a case for the Flyer also but 500 for a smaller screen and older OS is pushing it a bit. Truth is I will probably stick with the flyer. It would suck if HTC decides not to go with honeycomb though. The Flyer has just enough little features that make this thing rock...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] tommyz2kool:
10" tabs are pointless imo. A netbook can do more, costs less, is more durable and is just as portable once you factor in the fragility of a tablet.

Stick with the flyer. 7" tab is the perfect size.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kcchen:
The only thing I have to add is the pen integration. As a 2nd gen tab user, I found taking notes on my iPad just didn't work well. If you don't need it then get something else for the money.

Because these devices are meant to be portable case material gets a lot of consideration. Plastic for a device this size just seems flimsy. I don't believe in purchasing a car and leaving it in the garage. I don't baby my electronic devices either. Hence the aluminum is comforting. Titanium or magnesium to lighten things up would be interesting... Maybe a Lenovo will consider the material.

The larger screen is definitely more comfortable if you are primarily couch-surfing. I also prefer the larger screen to browse magazines in full page or side-by-side. The smaller screen of the Flyer works well for guidebooks or as an e-reader. Larger screen also makes remoting into workstations easier, though I'm getting handy with the smaller screen.

Again, to me the pen integration is why I have this particular device. It doesn't bother me that honeycomb isn't on the device... I personally don't expect honeycomb to drastically effect the functionality of the device other than access to apps which will take advantage of the larger screen. I would prefer to see more advancement and focus on pen integrated apps.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
Yes, obviously price is a factor for most everyone (except the filthy rich). But it seems like you are trying to compare the "value" for 2 devices with potentially very different functionality due to their form factors.

You said you have an iPad2, which is exactly the same form factor as the GT 10.1. The size and weight of the two are virtually IDENTICAL. Aside from the freedom that the Android OS gives you, what makes you think that you would use the GT any more, or like it any more than the iPad? Plus, you would be owning 2 very similar devices (if you had the GT and the iPad), which actually seems like a waste of money. It seems more value added to spend your money on two devices with different form factors. The Flyer for portability, and maybe the iPad for times when you are couch surfing and want a bigger screen. Although, if you ask me, maybe its the iPad that you should get rid of! :-P

The "value" a device brings to you is not necessarily the specs (like a bigger screen or a slightly more updated OS) but the use that you get from it. Its not always about the numbers, and you can't quantify how much you like or prefer something.

Also, the GT does not have a "higher" processor, in all regards. Its a 1 GHz dual core versus the 1.5 GHz single core on the Flyer. The dual core is better for multi-tasking, such as switching between apps, or apps running in the background. But within a single app, the higher clocked single core processor will actually prove faster. The vast majority of apps do not support multi cores yet, and don't take advantage of it. This is why people on here have commented that the Flyer actually feels snappier than the current dual core tablets (in addition to Honeycomb possibly causing some lag).
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
I have to agree. While the Flyer is the only tablet I own, I was recently in Best Buy, fiddling around with every tablet they had, particularly the Honeycomb ones. I wasn't really blown away by Honeycomb. Some things are cool, such as how the launcher and other apps make better use of a larger tablet screen. And there are various features only on Honeycomb that sound cool. But to be honest, I was not all that crazy about the general theming and look of Honeycomb versus Sense Gingerbread. Maybe I'm must too much of an HTC junky, and biased. Also, the Honeycomb launcher seemed a bit sluggish, as commented in various places. Maybe HC needs a bit more work, or slightly faster CPUs. All in all, my takeaway from the experience was that I am not really disappointed that the Flyer has Gingerbread.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] goybs:
Exactly! Before I bought my Flyer I was looking for the best hardware, latest OS. After much thought and trying out different devices I decided that I wanted the 7" form factor. With that there were only 2 real choices for me, this and the galaxy tab. The flyer performs much better than the galaxy tab. Reviewers of the flyer complain about the specs, but with actual use, it's fast and smooth, less lag than the 10" honeycombs.

I rarely use my laptop now. When not at work I use this almost exclusively for browsing, email, news, games, listening to music, watching videos, reading android forums =), whether at home or commuting or at a cafe. I'm very happy with the performance. Battery life is decent. My only complaint is the camera that's it. Picture quality on my HTC desire is better than this.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] frankic:
Thanks for all your replies. I decided to stick with the Flyer. The portability can not be beat. I have not really put the pen to use as of yet but I am a big Evernote user and expect to use the Pen much more soon. I miss spoke when I mentioned higher processor, I am aware of the dual core just miss-spoke. The one drawback to the flyer is email threading and right side preview which is available through honeycomb. I am hoping the 7" form factor will adopt these features when Honeycomb is added. The email client for HTC is not my cup of tea. That's is really my biggest gripe.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] GAMERG1RL:
I couldn't agree more. The value should be based on what's important to YOU! I tried to justify my purchase because I know I overpaid (when comparing to other tablets). Then I realized that it really comes down to whether I like the tablet or not.. and..well... I do :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] oldpueblo:
Also, a ton of people pay that same price for only 3.6-4.1 inch screens (phones off contract). So when you look at it that way the price for the flyer is pretty damn good. :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
Very true. I paid over $600 for an unlocked Bell Canada Desire Z, since nothing comparable is compatible with my carrier (AT&T). No regrets, and I love the phone.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] tom_m:
I just got the Flyer from Sprint a few days ago. I'd say I didn't have enough usage yet to be able to say keep it or not and I can return it still myself, I'm within the 30 days.... But.... Dude, come on.

The only reason I think anyone would want to return it if they could (or not get it) is to only get the 10" tablet with the magic pen, the Puccini. At that rate, it's then a toss up for 7" vs 10" and carrier preference.

I thought I'd be disappointed with a 7" tablet. I have a 10" gTab and will likely end up giving it to a family member. My wife is getting an iPad2. I have to honestly say, I love this 7" tablet more than I thought I would.

I believe it will get Honeycomb if it matters at all...I don't know. What I'm really anxious for though is more apps to use the pen. I signed up to be notified of their developer program. I will take the plunge in building some pen apps if I have to because this device already makes my day job as a web developer (and designer) MUCH easier.

I tried using a "pen" on the gTab and other tablets. LOL. Not the same thing at all. I say hang on to this tablet. Look at it this way...Aside from Honeycomb (which it should be getting) and a dual core Tegra, what exactly are you missing? It's FAR more stable than the gTab in my experience. I was using the VEGAn ROM. The screen certainly is nicer =) it's got gorilla glass. It has a solid build. I consider the screen size preference and a good reason to use another tablet. Aside from that, you're nuts. If you are ok with a 7" tablet, then this is the one in that category, hands down.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] brucewilsonpa:
I have the.same debate - keep.the EVO.view 4G or return it and.keep my 10" tab (xoom). I am definitely leaning towards the 7" form factor
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] submandingo:
I've owned blackberry playbook, galaxy tab 7 and the flyer. All of which were returned lol.

The galaxy tab was to slow and clunky , playbook looks like it has potential but no apps at all. The flyer I liked but was like you and wanted the latest and newest processors with the honeycomb. After a couple weeks only having my iconia 10" tablet to play with (which I love by the way) I went back and re purchased the flyer. It's the 7" portability that really brought me back to the flyer. It is by far the best of the small tablets available.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] poohpoohguy:
just return it, and tell them because HTC intentionally block the phone function which was supposed to work on this tablet, just return it !!!

actually, i am wondering if anyone would interested to sign up a petition to tell HTC to remove S-On (which what HTC promise before) and unlock the phone function. We, as a customer of HTC, should have the right to demand what we supposed to paid for.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jimmbomb:
So.... you are saying that there is NO phone function on the HTC Flyer??

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i3igi3yrd:
I'm a bit confused. I had to send my tab back to have some work done on the screen, some pixels died. When they returned it to me, it was running 1.2. When I started trying to get 1.2BL roms on it, I ran into some issues. Without thinking that there may be a difference, I ran NVFlash. (The same one I used all the time on the tab prior to sending it in.) Now, I'm running TAPUI 1.0-2638. To get back to 1.2, should I just run the OTA updates or is there a manual way that I can do it?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:

Oook... it seems i'm not allowed to post into Development session due to my low number of post, so as suggested by VBullettin i'm posting into Q&A....

Really need your help guys.

I've played a bit today with my GT 10.1 3G and i ended up installing Bonsai ROM.

First boot ok, i setup all the stuff and rebooted.

Second boot, bootloop.

Then the tragedy.... i probably did something wrong and so actually this is my situation:

CWM 4.0.0.4 correctly accessible

all the partitions have been formatted

i'm unable to push any custom rom to the phone using adb as it seems that /sdcard, which actually is a link to /data/media, cannot be mounted properly by CWM or something similar

Even tried a factory restore through ODIN but when i enter downloading mode ODIN does not recognize the device and i see a usb drivers errors in WIN7. (drivers are installed correctly, i was able to use ODIN at the beginning).

Any hint?

I'd be happy both being able to install a custom MOD or even a factory restore, i just want to stay away from completely bricking the device - and it seems i'm not that far....

thanks in advance to anyone,

Cris
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mughalgxt:
CWM 4.0.0.4 correctly accessible! Thats good news,all isn't lost:D.

1)Restore from a backup you created.

2)Try the touchwiz ROM quite popular in development forum and flash with odin actually for GT 10.1 3G

3) To push a custom rom into the device (why?) follow the steps, incase its update.zip

Now in CWM xxx recovery mode connect it to your pc,

STARt>run>cmd> direct to the adb containing pathway like:

C:\ cd Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\(type)adb devices

Hopefully your device will be detected,

Now push the restore.img (in case you backed up)

or anything into the sdcard( the push file should be in adb.exe folder) via PC:

adb start-server

adb push xxx.zip /sdcard/

4)Factory restore should be attempted from recovery mode, there is specifically an option for this plus dalvik cache clear all cache clear;NOT ODIN

Seriously bro its time to flash a factory ROM be it 3.0 or 3.1 if available via ODIN. I won't recommend flashing any custom ROM now.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ca110475:
Thanks man.

I was finally able to flash via ODIN HC 3.1.

The only minor issue is that is a P7510 version, so the mobile network 3g is not working. Minor issue as i didn't buy a SIM for data traffic yet.

Still, if anyone could point me to a ODIN compatible ROM for 7500, i'd be grateful.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] SciFlyer:
So, I have been using an app (Baseball Scoreboard by ProLine) to keep track of the scores at my son's baseball games. It is a very simple app. The retro scoreboard reminds me of one you would find at an old ballfield like Fenway Park.

Since the display is so big, it's easy to show to other parents.

All it does is track runs per inning, outs, balls and strikes. It doesn't track things I do not want to spend time on like stats, RBI's, errors, batting order etc. and there are more expensive and more complicated apps that will do that for you.

It's simplicity is what attracted me to it.

What it doesn't do is save the scores or datestamp the game. The next game overwrites the previous scoreboard.

This is where the pen comes in. At the end of the game, I take a screenshot by tapping it with the pen. Then I handwrite the date on the scoreboard and save it to notes. Now I have a permanent record of the score. Once it is in Notes, I can do whatever I want with it.

Yeah, I know that I could have been keeping track of the score by hand (or keyboard) right in Notes but where is the fun in that? I used to do that on my Droid.

Just thought I would throw that out there. - a use for the screenshot :D
