Best Buy and HTC Announce Wi-Fi HTC Flyer Tablet

By Ken Brown

Best Buy and HTC have announced the exclusive launch of a Wi-Fi only version of the HTC Flyer tablet PC. All Best Buy and Best Buy Mobile standalone stores, as well as BestBuy.com, will have the tablet when it launches this spring. The HTC Flyer is an Android-powered tablet that features a 7-inch screen, 16GB of memory, Adobe Flash support and, a microSD card slot. We will see if the HTC Flyer can survive against a very crowded field of established tables such as Apple’s iPad, Samsung’s Galaxy Tab, and Motorola’s Xoom.
