Which makes it more of an oversize smartphone and less of a tablet. The company has just taken the wraps off its brand new 7-inch Flyer Android tablet, which it hopes will give a good fight among the other boys in town.

The Flyer is tout a 1.5GHz single-core CPU, 1GB of RAM plus 32GB of flash storage, an aluminum unibody construction, 1024 x 600 resolutions, a tablet-optimized version of Sense, and uniquely, a pressure-sensitive stylus! The HTC Scribe trademark floating around in legal waters turned out not to be the branding for a tablet, it’s actually the name HTC gives to the technology enabling what it calls a “groundbreaking pen experience.”

Other details include a 5 megapixel camera on the back paired with a 1.3 megapixel imager up front, a 4000mAh battery rated to last for four hours of continuous video playback, and memory expandability via a microSD card. Now what’s lively about this Flyer is that it comes with the usual HTC unibody build, which will be nice to hold.

The Flyer will ship in Q2 2011 with Android Gingerbread 2.4 on board. HTC says it’ll be indistinguishable from 2.3 as far the end user is concerned, though I personally think that it’ll be ‘even more superior’ if it comes with Gingerbread. Well, as far as HTC is concerned, Sense matters more than the underlying platform, and the reason Honeycomb isn’t the shipping OS here was explicitly stated as HTC not having enough time with the latest Google code to customize it to the full requirements of Sense. Now that’s very convincing.
