The HTC Flyer finally comes to the US. This 7-inch HTC tablet was previously revealed at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. Sprint has just announced that it is going to be the first carrier in the US to get the HTC Evo View, which is the US version of the HTC Flyer tablet.
The difference between HTC Flyer and HTC Evo View?
Actually, the HTC Evo View is similar to the HTC Flyer except the fact that it has 4G capability and little cosmetic changes. Other than that, the HTC Evo View still has that 1.5GHz Snapdragon processor, 32GB internal memory, 5-megapixel rear camera, 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi. The HTC Evo View can also act as a wireless hotspot for up to eight devices, meaning that eight devices will be able to share the internet connection that the HTC Evo View can create. A stylus pen is also shipped with the device itself.
It is interesting to note that the HTC Flyer runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread and not the tablet optimized Android 3.0 Gingerbread. However, Sprint has announced that it plans to update the HTC Evo View to Android 3.0 Honeycomb once the device is actually released. So it is expected the Sprint will roll out the Honeycomb update for HTC Evo View following its sales day.
Price of the HTC Evo View
Sprint is yet to reveal the pricing details of HTC Evo View. We'll report once the prices are announced. A summer release is planned.
