Guys! now I am fed up..seems that they will never release honeycomb upgrade...
Anybody any news???
Try living in the US and being ignored even when it comes to small updates.
Think we'll see Honeycomb around the time the Puccini launches? You'd think, but it really appears that HTC has ignored the Flyer.
Try not being updated since launch.... screw it. Above post is most believable, Honeycomb when Jetstream/Skyrocket/Puccini launches.
We should bother the sh%t outta them about it. Seems to works.

LOL XD, I will call them.
Same here, paid in full for the 32gb 3g tablet on day one to use it for my work (illustration/concept design) because of the n-trig digitizer and form factor... Now 4 months later, i only use it for some dumb web browsing, mail checkin and occasionnal movie watchin, stuff that i could perfectly perform on my phone... The scribe sdk (recently released) seems to be 3.x specific from what i understand... AND NOW I'M MAD AS HELL, FED UP OF WAITING. Feel cheated and insulted by the total lack of communication. Should have wait and go for the upcoming Lenovo Thinkpad tablet with nvidia cpu, full size host usb, fullsize sdcard reader and honeycomb out of the box...
I just wish htc would communicate
If somebody know who to hit (that would matter), i'm down for some good old fashion mass emailing, or any action that would get em to give us a goddamn answer

With all respect, how did you plan to use your Flyer? For which kind of work? Why do you think the current software is incapable? It would be good if you can share with us.
If you think that you can not use efficiently the current Flyer for your work I am afraid that you will still be disappointed when the Honeycomb comes. IMHO, the Honeycomb will not bring significant changes in the Flyer's productivity.
BTW, Lenovo Thinkpad is 10" tablet which is in a complete different category. And Chinese Lenovo quality in general is worse than HTC's (I own an Lenovo T serie laptop, It's bad). I think HTC Puccini will be better than the Lenovo Tablet.
I 100% agree!! 100%.
It's not that HC will solve all of our issues or bring in Earth shattering functionality. That's not the point nor my immediate concern.
It's the complete lack of communication and the complete lack of backing.
HTC marketed scribe, where are the new apps supporting it? Where is the communication letting users know that supporting apps are coming?
HTC promised honeycomb "shortly after launch", where is it? Where's the communication?
Heck, where are the accessories?
If HTC is going to position themselves as a company that innovates on top of Android, then they have to do better than this...
My recommendation to you guys is to annoy the heck out of them on twitter and on their facebook page... I try to post to them every now and then just to be a pain in the ass

Sorta have to agree here. After playing with Honeycomb tablets in the stores, I'm wondering what all the fuss is about. Gingerbread + Sense makes the Flyer a wonderful tablet, IMHO.
Yeah, I'd like to see more pen aware apps. But I suspect it's only a matter of time before they start showing up (especially once other manufacturers adopt N-trig pen technology). And even if they don't, the ability to jot down notes is still worth the price of admission, IMHO.

I agree here also. All the current HC tablets are laggy. HC has a few cool features, and looks nice. But the eye candy comes at the expense of performance. And none of the HC features missing from Gingerbread are real deal breakers. HTC is probably trying to figure out how to incorporate Sense without making HC even more laggy. Compared to current HC tablets, the Flyer GB experience is smoother and faster in most respects.

u may be right, maybe i'm trippin, but i know for sure that Autodesk Sketchbook pro for honeycomb is supposed to support the scribe/n-trig digitizers, so for now unfortunately it feels like this HC update is my best chance to be able to use the flyer as a digital sketchbook. I also keep an anxious eye on that Fresco thread in the meantime, and i sure hope the somebody can make this happen Gingerbread flavor... nobody likes a laggy tablet
for info, i plan to use it to do my preliminary sketches and color studies on the go. The note app combined with evernote may be great for note taking and sketching basic ideas, but misses alot of basic features to call it a painting app (canvas size, simple color mixing/picking, etc...)
i agree about the lenovo feeling pretty cheap compared to htc, but i really like the features, and it should run Sketchbook pro (for instance) with pen pressure out of the box... but i sure like the flyer form factor... i'm just reallyreallyreally frustrated right now...
Anybody knows when pretends HTC offer the Puccini?
September? October? November? Christmast?
I can try wait until Christmast... Not sure...
Depends on the roms...
And of course, i luv this tablet is perfect 4 me

Well, one thing is sure... Anyone of us that have performed the s-off method will not be able to upgrade anyhow! Unless guys here find a way to conform the HTC OTA protocol or HTC add geek allowance into their updates with a warning!
To be honest, I'm with others on here, I've tried HC, and unless HTC have given an even better Sense cover to it, it does not give me any thoughts of upgrade... They still have not fixed PPTP VPN for goodness sake....!
what is actually honeycomb.....
Honeycomb is a new version of Android (3.0) specifically made for tablets. As of now it is laggy, and not fit to run on the Flyer. ICS, is the version after Honeycomb which is to release this fall, and is one OS that runs on both tabs and phones.
Hi,
why isn´t there a rom with android 3.2?
Best regards

They have. You can see HTC's UI customizations on the Puccini screenshots.
I received this response yesterday when pushing the issue
@htc: @TheNewDorkTimes The software is in development and we'll post here upon its release. Thank you for asking.” #flyer #honeycomb
again vague....companies like Motorola and HTC are screwing customers with false claims of soon to be released features and updates. This, "sell now and make promises philosophy", is pissing a lot of people off. People take the chance of purchasing the product in good faith expecting they will see what was promised soon. HTC can make great products but I for one will never purchase a product that promises features or capabilities in the near future. I will simply wait for something better or go with a reputable company that actually keeps it word.
Im currently a WIFI Only Motorola Xoom owner and im considering switching to a HTC Flyer.
Reason being, the xoom is big, not as convenient to carry and relies on WIFI.
The Flyer im looking at is from US Cellular and has 3G data package.
Im big into roms and kernels so chime in with what kernel / rom combination you are running on your 3G Flyer.
Also, let me know about battery life. perks of the Flyer..etc..
Help me decide if the Flyer is a good xoom replacement or not ;-)
thanks in advance guys!
Flyers a good replacement for size and battery but not ROMs an kernels. There are 2 kernels, 1.7 and 1.8 GHz over clocks. All the gingerbread ROMs are just tweaks, the most tweaked being LeeDroid. For Honeycomb, it is FlyHoney as it has the latest leak.
It's dangerous to install HC so you'd better be careful.
On my flyer i recently downgraded from HC cause of the bugs and the simplicity gone. I am on stock + root, no biggie.
Unless you are the must-hack-device-till-it-dies kind of guy the flyers a good option.
None of the tablets that run Honeycomb have much in the way of custom ROMs. Google only this week released the source code so all that could be done were minor tweaks and add or remove existing pieces. Flyer has the best hardware for any current 7"
not to mention the looming honeycomb release for the tablets. wonder if they are going to do source releases on the honeycomb kernels so that ICS will be easier to port?
Wouldn't his Flyer be more of a View if it's running 3g and not capable of running Flyer wifi roms?
For me, I knew I was making that tradeoff when going for the connected View.

No it would be the most widely used variant of the flyer, and it is like the view capable of both cellular and wifi data.
that figures. frickin' sprint...haha. Gives me more reason to complain to them about keeping up with the updates. If I see it for the Flyer, I better see it for the View. Though I think the View is selling fairly well (say compared to the Tmob Streak 7). So they should have good reason to keep up with them.

Got the Flyer today, loving it so far compared to my xoom. I dont have the stylus yet since it was sold out at the US Cellular store. (might pick one up online).
Loving the device. Fits perfect in the and and very speedy for a single core processor.
Loading up all my apps now and still the battery hasnt moved much at all.
Very impressed with the device so far!
buy it,

we can't wait, you must buy it now.
Don't wait for Congress, buy it, buy it now
Here is a good deal on a new HTC view for 229.99. No contract required.
http://1saleaday.com/
Nice to see that it's back at this price point for the people who missed out last month.
I purchased mine from this site when they offered it back in December. It arrived in less than a week and in brand new condition. I had no complaints whatsoever.
I placed an order this morning...Back in the box Kindle Fire, time to go back!
I'm thinking about picking it up. I have a Streak 7, which despite all the complaints, I don't think is that bad. The only thing holding me from buying this is going from a dual core down to a single core. Has anyone had both of these devices? How quick is the Evo? Thanks in advance.
I got one on the previous deal, thinking about getting another lol
I purchased one from this site again and I am purchasing a second one now so I can play with rooting and using other ROMs. The extra set of cables and charges are a benefit to me a well. I am sure I will be turning to you all at some point for what do do with the second system and how best to customize it. I hope that at some point ICS will be available too through customization.

I just bought a Kindle Fire and put CM7 on it. So far I love it but this deal has me seriously considering selling the KF and picking up the Evo View.
What kind of differences will I notice in processing power, if any?

I am running CM7 on the Kindle Fire as well. I don't think it is that snappy at all. I am actually thinking the single core 1.5ghz processor will seem faster plus the 1gig of ram should help as well.
This device offers so much more then the KF at this price it cannot be passed up. With the addition of a front and back camera, bluetooth, 32 gigs of memory, official honeycomb update, that is enought to satisfy me. Plus nothing will seem as snappy as my Epic 4G touch anyway, even the KF with it's dual core isn't even in the same league as E4GT.
I'm wondering if I should pick one up or wait for the new Asus tablet, the 370T
I jumped on this deal this morning, as well. I look forward to putting my Nook Color on eBay or CraigsList in a week or two and joining you guys here in these forums. I just wish the deal had been through Amazon so I could have it on Monday - this week is going to kill me!
I'm no dev or anything, usually just a lurker with a couple posts here and there. But this place seems much more civil than a lot of the other XDA forums I've been in, so maybe that will change.
Now I'm off to shop for some accessories while I'm in limbo. Woohoo!
Screen?
Really considering this deal. I have a Nook Tablet and I really wish it had a front camera, working bluetooth, and to some extent, GPS. I do however really like the screen on the NT. How's the screen on the View? Can you move off center in all directions and it still looks great? Poor performance in the screen is the kind of fundamental niggle I just can't live with. How about responsiveness? Is the GUI relatively fluid?
wow I was wondering if that deal would ever come again. great tablet. I had a nook tablet before the view, but I just couldn't stand not having the real android market and I envied the stylus input. I'd say the screen is exceptionally responsive and fluid when compared to the nt. It really feels like a $500-$700 tablet slashed down to $230. its a steal. I almost want to buy a backup tablet in case anything happens to this one.

You could buy this now, use it until that one comes out, and still get $200-250 for the View on Craigslist.

I had the NT, even rooted it with your MAC script. I liked it a lot but could not live with the fussing around regarding the OTA update. B&N's stance on hacking their device has really soured my taste toward them so I returned it. I picked up a WiFi Flyer and haven't looked back. The screen is basically the same as the NT, just as good, if not better viewing angles. However, the NT has slightly less glare. The responsiveness is at least as good as the NT if not better. I even like the overall feel of the Flyer over the NT. It isn't as thin, but it feels stronger and better made. Anyways, I can pretty much guarantee you won't miss the NT at all.
What are the chances this thing will get ICS? Rather official, or CM9 support?
The price for this tablet is great, but if this tablet won't have ICS I'm going to wait awhile for the new tablets to come out.
View eats all other 7-8" tablets for breakfast.
Been there, done this.
Ordered my second View.
Returned my Vizio 8" to the store.
Life is good

I concur. I have Both the KF & HTC EVO View 4g and the View is Much, Much faster and snappier than the KF. I LOVE it since HC was put on and the Stylus works soooooo much better since HC. I use the View all the time AND I have a Xoom WiFi WITH ICS and still use the View more because I can Write to the SD Card whenever I want. Whereas my Xoom is a GED Device and even thou it has ICS there still is NO Write ability to the SD Card Internally, which to me gimps the device. I put a PNY 32GB Class 10 in my View for Extra Storage and have a Otterbox Defender on it. Awesome Device.
DON'T get caught up in the Dual Core vs Single Core issue with this device. HTC Optimized the View Magnificently with Sense and HC that it's really FAST and Buttery Smooth.
I just ordered mine. I was sorta reluctant, because I am not a fan of Sense. I currently have an Acer Iconia A100 that I got from Best Buy for $180. I will give the View 4G a shot (fingers crossed that CM will hit this thing). I just know that one tablet will be on the Craigslist soon. Also, I read this review after making the purchase:

Hey guys I just ordered the HTC view on impulse and now I'm having second thoughts. I was all ready to buy the Nook tablet and I got an email saying I could get the View for 259.99 usd free shipping no tax. So I just jumped on it with even thinking about now I'm a little worried because the Nook on paper with it dual core processor seems a little more up to date. Should I be worried or does the View perform better than it sounds? I plan on rooting whichever one I end up, by the way. Any comments would be appreciated, thank you

You're better off...
with the View vs the Nook tablet.
I have a Nook Color with a custom GB rom, and picked up a View about a month ago. So far, I really like the view.
As for tablets, I own or have owned and iPad, Galaxy Tab, HP Touchpad, Nook Color and now the View. I would buy a 7-8"iPad in a heartbeat, but am really enjoying the form factor of the View.
In 6 months, something better WILL come along, but I'm ok with solid tech, and not on the bleeding edge...
i personally think the View is one of the better tablets out there. I have a Kindle Fire and an Archos 80 which have things about them I like better than the View, but overall the View is the tablet I use most. Despite it being a single core processor it seems snappier than the other two. I like the pen integration and the fact that it has GPS, bluetooth and dual cameras. The Archos is my second favorite, primarily becuase of the screen size, USB host and built in codec support, but I think the fact that it has less RAM causes it to be less stable.

Dont even think twice, you won when you purchased the View. I had a nook tablet but was so dissapointed that I couldn't access the real Android market out of the box, or Skype, or sketch, or snap some photos. I think the reason u win is because its a $700 device marked down to Nook price. Trying to keep up with the latest tech gadget you're either going to pay $700 for all the bells and whistles flat out or you're going to be locked in a 2yr contract. The "firesale" View lets u skip both of these pitfalls and escape with your wallet intact and a tablet even Apple should be envious of.
I had a Nook Tablet for 2 weeks and decided it was too much trouble to fight B&N for the life of the tablet on being able to root it. I too was a bit concerned that the Flyer/View would be underpowered and not as nice as the NT. This is completely false. I love my Flyer much more than the NT and I have 0 regrets in the trade.
I've used the nook tablet, galaxy tab & currently use an evo view tab
I really didn't expect to be impressed, but I was wrong
The view blows the nook away IMO
I've had the view for over a month & love it more every day!
it's surprisingly quick (custom rom) huge 32gb onboard
Video runs flawless - hbo go netflix you tube on great screen
Dual cameras & skype video calls... Google voice calls too
Stylus apps are pretty cool & hopefully more to come
Bluetooth stereo sounds incredible with halo headphones
Well designed & quality build - feels good in your hand not cheap quality
Tons of great features packed in a sleek package for shockingly low price
Lots more development on the view since price drops also
No doubt ICS roms will be ported soon
Also nice to have 3g/4g option & also can use micro usb cable
even tho it looks like it won't fit
Nook is very restrictive with apps etc & lacking in features
the interface is kinda ugly too
You will not be disappointed with your supersized evo...
More likely wowed
I have a CM7 Nook Color that I was using before the View. I bought the View specifically for the pen function. Being a Sprint employee, it really helps me on the floor to manage notes and also to show it off.
People get all excited about the dual core business. But you do realize that a 1.5 ghz single will.be faster than a 1.2 ghz dual core right? The dual core helps with multitasking and benchmarks but real world not a big difference.
Sent from my PG41200 using Tapatalk
I'm still loving mine. I put my Nook Color with CM7 on Ebay immediately after getting the View in the last firesale. Its so much quicker and smoother. Plus it has several perks that the Nook will never have, GPS, camera, Bluetooth (out of the box, not thru the CM7 hack). Its a legit tablet.
Only gripe is not having all Honeycomb apps fully functional, but I think that is due to the app developers not supporting our unusual resolution.

As long as the hardware is about the average level, the difference of user experience is not that depended on the CPU / Ram. Indeed if you have dual / quad core it may run some software better, but for the majority of software most tablet can handle it without a problem.
What really changes the user experience the most is the number and quality of sensors it packs. I used one Nook Color, had the gripe not on the speed, but on it's lack of sensor.
No GPS, microphone, cameras, bluetooth sucks. That means no navigation, no skype or voip, no bar code scanning, no reliable way to use keyboard / bt gps .. the list goes on and on...
View has it all, plus a pen input. You can make use of almost all the functions in all the software out there. (I only wish someone can add bt headset back in.. oh. maybe a better set of cameras too.) You have the luxury of flexibility. Sometimes it does not matter if a tablet runs fast or slow, it matters if the tablet can run that app at all or not.
That is the reason why I sold my Nook Color, even if it is fun to hack. I would also recommend against Nook tablet or Kindle fire, as all of them are more reader less tablet. You can do internet on it, and that's about it.
After the tablet has an average speed, the key of tablet is really at the sensors it has. In this aspect, View actually trumps pretty much every tablet, including ipad. ( maybe the only exceptions are those with NFC.. Is there any tablet comes with NFC yet? )
Just talking about dual core vs. single core, I returned the Kindle Fire for the View. You cannot tell the difference between the two as far as what performs better. I actually think the View feels a little snappier.
We all have flyers and we love them. I have this question. If you root your flyer and then upgrade the os to ICS, jelly bean and beyond. What would it take for you to want to replace it? What would htc have to do in terms of hardware upgrades, besides the obvious one of putting a multi core processor,or maybe adding gorilla glass to make you pull the trigger on the next one? The prospect of a 7" ipad has me intrigued, but even with that I wonder what I would do with my flyer besides make it an alarm clock and then all the apps i would put it , i am back to wanting to carry it with me again. And that has me seriously considering getting another flyer in case I screw the first one up, trying to root it
The next round of tablets will have at least double the screen resolution of the current, so I would probably move to the larger 10" +, except, see my signature below to find out why I probably won't be interested in future tablets even with faster hardware and better screens.
7-8" screen, internal GPS, $200-300 price point and has support longer than launch day. That's all I look for.
Samsung Galaxy Tab and Galaxy S not getting ICS due to Touchwiz bloat.
http://www.theverge.com/2011/12/23/2657132/samsung-no-ics-upgrade-for-galaxy-s-and-galaxy-tab
LOL
same excuse as HTC.............
it'd take a lot for me to go above a 7" tablet...i had a 10" and it was simply way too big
thinner and lighter would have me salivating for an upgrade, though i don't yet feel the need to update my tablet as often as my phone...so it may be the next iteration for me, not the ones directly coming up
actually, there are so many things i DON'T need in a tablet that i'd probably be happy with one of the $100 ebay ripoffs, but i'm too much of a consumer to have one...lol
Im still for the most part very happy with my flyer. esp with the advent of custom roms and oc/uv has made this thing just a treat to play around with. I'm also very happy with it's size.. not too huge. not too small... just right
that said. i've def drooled over the htc jetstream. what bothers me is i can't find it in wifi only anywhere and att is the only one selling them that i could find... but alas.. it's only a dual core...
i think i'll wait and go striaght from single core to quad core for my next tablet. i have been keeping my eye on ASUS recently the prime is cool but came out with a lot of bugs. i was also watching the MEMO 370t quad core 7 inch tab thats supposed to be priced around 250.. u get the same 8mp cam as on the prmie.. but no front facing cam.. and that might be a deal breaker for me as i spend a lot of time on skype with friends and family.
so ... my next flyer would idealy be a quad core dual camera wifi gps THE WERKS!
prolly Q3 or Q4 this year is when i'll be really trying compare whats available and whats up and comming and start planning on getting a new tab.
i already have too many devices to play with lol

I think I'll just see what's available when my contract is up in 2013. I've dropped mine a few times so it has some scuffs.
Hardware I'd like a LED flash for the camera. I'm okay with the 5MP camera, but wouldn't mind a 8MP with full HD recording. That being said, HDMI out is a must. Higher screen resolution would be good too. I think the 1024x600 res can be upgraded. Also seeing how the new iPad has Bluetooth 4.0, that would be nice too. & a better standard pouch. The current one is pathetic.
But I'm not attached to my Flyer at the hip. I'd like another HTC, but if they don't have a new 7" tab soon, I'll have to shop somewhere else....

@ Digital MD... get a pogoplug... you can stream your own stuff to any device you have
@n7 of 9... do you miss the extra screen real estate of the 10" tablet? I was seriously considering getting a jet stream... cause I wanted another toy... and for the extra screen real estate
For Android tablets, I prefer 7-8". Easier to carry around and easier to hold for reading. My 10" tablet is a Windows 7 tablet and I will probably gets Windows 8 tablet end of the year. Yes... more blasphemy.
Edit: right now it would take a lot for me to get rid of my View. I am on stock HC and love the pen interface. I will probably always get the latest and greatest Archos tablet, but right now the View is the one I always carry with me. I also have the data plan for it which is very convenient.
Bluetooth 4.0 would be great.
A better way to output HDMI (The MHL stuff is just added bulk and works intermittently for me).
7 or 8 inch
better resolution
better gpu
continued scribe support/more apps that take advantage of it
less bezel, more screen real estate
built in kickstand?

We all have flyers and we love them. I have this question. If you root your flyer and then upgrade the os to ICS, jelly bean and beyond. What would it take for you to want to replace it? What would htc have to do in terms of hardware upgrades, besides the obvious one of putting a multi core processor,or maybe adding gorilla glass to make you pull the trigger on the next one? The prospect of a 7" ipad has me intrigued, but even with that I wonder what I would do with my flyer besides make it an alarm clock and then all the apps i would put it , i am back to wanting to carry it with me again. And that has me seriously considering getting another flyer in case I screw the first one up, trying to root it

They would have to break into my house and fill my current flyer with holes. My girlfriend is looking for a flyer now even. The flyer runs amazingly regardless of the specs so I have no reason to want anything new. No tablets I've played with yet, impressed me the way the flyer did.
for a tablet, and for my personal useage patterns my Flyer is all I need

Being totally realistic here.. if the flyer or the tf101 don't suit your tablet needs nothing in the tablet world does.

So far, nothing. The only reason, right now, that I would want to replace my Flyer is because something I did to the Flyer (eg: break it somehow...) I don't want anything larger than 7", I love the pen, and I have no complaints about battery life, screen or OS stability. My previous 7" tablet (cheap Chinese variety) really was a test (to see if 7" would work) and from day one after buying it, I have been on the lookout for a better quality 7" (which took almost 1 1/2 years to come!). Since I've gotten my Flyer, I've not even looked at different tablets...
Not another HTC hardware!

I like my samsung captivate.. incredibly flexible when it comes to romming.
I want htc hardware in a phone, the problem is that if I'm going to use a protective case anyway, it defeats the purpose of that high quality metal feeling phone..
I have 3 Tablets:
HTC EVO VIEW 4G (WiFi Only)
WiFi Xoom (GED with ICS)
BlackBerry Playbook (With OS 2.0)
They're all really nice tablets. If you are looking for another nice 7" Tablet then the Playbook is Great for the price ($199). Awesome screen, 1080p Video Recording, HDMI Out, Bluetooth and the OS (QNX) is head & shoulders above IOS & Android. Playbook is really smooth and the Browser is the best Tablet Browser out there (there is only 1 Browser out there that tops it in tests and that is Chrome for Desktops). Apps are coming along.
The sub -$199 Google Nexus tablet.
