Since the HTC Puccini checked in at the FCC earlier this month, bits and pieces have been leaking out about the 10″ successor to the HTC Flyer.

HTC Flyer & Digital Pen now available in one happy $500 package
The HTC Flyer is a 7 inch Android tablet that offers a few things most of its competitors lack.
