HTC Flyer Tablet Specs Revealed?

While HTC has been busy adding to their smartphone family, the company has been relatively quiet on the tablet front. That changed last week when rumors of three new tablets surfaced. Today these rumors substantialized as a detailed list of specs on the HTC Flyer emerged on the Norwegian tech blog Amobil.

According to the leak, the Flyer will be a 7-inch Android tablet with a 1024 x 600 screen resolution. It may come with Android 2.3 Gingerbread, with an eventual option to upgrade to 3.0 Honeycomb, or it might launch with Honeycomb from the start.

The Flyer will have a Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8255 processor, which is surprising, considering that this processor is outdated and lagging behind the Nvidia Tegra 2 processors showcased by many next-gen Android tablets, like the recently announced Motorola Xoom. There will be a front facing 1.3 MP camera for video calls (the Flyer will come with Skype pre-installed), as well as a 5 MP rear facing camera.

The Flyer will have an HDMI port, and be DLNA-enabled to wirelessly stream movies and music. Also, the HTC custom UI Sense will receive a makeover for the Flyer, with HTC hoping to provide the tablet with what they call a "desktop feel."

Aside from the Flyer, keep an eye out for HTC to also release info on a ten-inch tablet with LTE support sometime in the near future.
