The HTC Flyer is an interesting one, mostly because it has a ‘proper’ stylus. Not one of these ‘designed-to-emulate-a-finger-which-is-the-last-thing-I-want-to-use-to-paint-with’ efforts.

it’s a fairly impressive set of specs, certainly the stylus is a huge plus point for me, as I’d want to use it as a sketch pad. Although the way my HTC Hero is behaving now, and the bloody awful upgrade cycle (now completely stalled at Andriod 2.1) for the Hero makes me wary of early adoption on any HTC device theses days. A phone should not be dead in the water on OS upgrades after less than 18 months. Even the iPhones can usually upgrade their OS a couple of times before they become obsolete, the Hero managed … one.
Plus, it’s kinda fugly. I think I prefer the Motorola Xoom.
