HTC Flyer UK release date to hit T-Mobile in July

The 7-inch HTC Flyer tablet is expected to arrive on the T-Mobile network by 6th of July, new reports have revealed.

Running on Google's Android 2.4 Gingerbread OS and coming equipped with a stylus for ease of use, with the gadget blog Phandroid suggesting a rather hopefull $200 (£120) price tag will be given to the device.

Competition is currently fierce in the tablet market and specs-wise the HTC Flyer appears to be lagging. Rivals such as the Motorola Xoom already support Android 3.0 Honeycomb out of the box, although HTC will be upgrading the Flyer “shortly after” its launch.

Furthermore with products such as the Samsung Galaxy 10.1 already sporting a dual-core processor, the HTC model’s 1.5GHz Qualcomm processor seems to have its work cut out for it.

That said the tablet does have an otherwise impressive list of specs 1GB RAM, a front (5-megapixel) and rear (1.3-megapixel) facing cameras, 32GB internal storage, GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, HTC Sense, and more.

Are you tempted by the HTC Flyer’s seemingly reasonable pricing or do you think the tablet is outdated before it hits the market? Get in touch via Facebook and Twitter.
