HTC’s last few Android tablets haven’t made much of a splash. The HTC Flyer 7 inch tablet was a nice piece of hardware with some unusual features including a digital pen, but it was overpriced and didn’t sell very well. And the HTC JetStream 10 inch tablet… well, like the rest of you, I don’t […]

Now you can install Honeycomb on the HTC Flyer (but maybe you shouldn’t yet)
HTC hasn’t officially released a software update for the HTC Flyer 7 inch tablet that will let you run Google Android 3.2 Honeycomb yet.
