HTC launches Flyer tablet in India

Taiwanese handset maker HTC has entered the "tablet" war in India with the launch of its "Flyer" in the country, priced at Rs 39,890.


A tablet PC, though smaller in size, has PC-like functionalities.
"We saw an opportunity to create a tablet experience that is different, more personal and productive and are extremely excited to introduce the HTC Flyer in the Indian market," HTC India Country Manager Faisal Siddiqui said in a statement.


Flyer's competitors in India include the Apple iPad, Samsung's Galaxy Tab, Blackberry Playbook and the soon-to-be launched Motorola Xoom and Huawei's MediaPad.


The seven-inch touch screen tablet has a 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. It has 1GB of RAM and an in-built memory of 16GB and a 5-megapixel camera.


The device also has features like HTC Sense, HTC Scribe and HTC Watch, which provide a better visual, touch and movie-viewing experience to users.
