HTC has shown off its tablet, with the Flyer. The problem is that it is not running the software specifically for Tablets, namely Android 3.0, but rather Android 2.4 with a very cool looking HTC Sense over the top. Could this be the downfall of this very cool looking device?
The HTC Flyer will be ariving in US shops in their Spring, so it might be in South Africa in 2014?
