The Flyer is an HTC Android-based tablet that accepts input via a special pen. We see how that works.
Stand out in tablet country is not obvious. The horde Android 3.0 tablets in the coming weeks and months will be released, is technical and software in much the same lines. Their only goal is to post a resilient Apple iPad.
HTC takes a different approach. Earlier this year announced at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, somewhat surprisingly July 1 inch tablet, equipped with Android 2.3.3 and, yes, pen input. HTC hopes to a very specific audience to tap into: those who are looking for a convenient tablet that you can use as a digital notepad. Mission accomplished?
Capacitive stylus
The advantage of a stylus is that you can draw things more precise and indicate. Such pins have been around for years and are generally only useful on a resistive screen. Because you enough pressure, the touch screen registers. A capacitive screen - like that of the Flyer - responds only to touch with a change in voltage, for example through human skin.
HTC has developed a special pen that works on a capacitive screen. The 11.5-inch pin only requires one AAAA batterijtje to do its thing.
Oddly, the flyer does not replace the pen-touch control of Android. You can start with no applications, menu items, select them, and even the virtual keyboard control. Once you place the pen on the touch screen, the penfunctie activated.
Depending on the application that is then opened, different scenarios unfold. In most cases, simply made a screenshot which you then make your comments, and then stored in an album (see screenshots below). Nice, but the writing surface so it will be limited to what you see on the screen.
