Engadget has posted an HTC Flyer review!
http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/16/htc-flyer-review
I found it intresting that it's as if the article's author discovers (or re-discovers) and praises the 7" size for it's on-the-go portability.
It seems as if the pen has its issues, which is disconcerting. This is where sensitivity, optimization, and feel would play a huge roll. The goal is simple, provide a similar experience as on paper. The drawing surface should offer the same 'dry' resistance. There should be extremely little input lag by way of a very fast routine for detecting input (and fast hardware), and the input should be sensitive enough to be able to write quite small letters. It seems as if HTC misses the mark with this.
An interesting proposition, but if it fails to do pen input well, then one wonders if it is worth purchasing this device over a $2 notebook.
