HTC FLYER IS COMING TO OUR MARKET, CONFIRMED BY MAXIS

Ready or not, HTC’s first tablet – the Flyer – is about to land here in Malaysia. The 7-inch tablet was first announced at the recent Mobile World Congress as part of HTC's line-up for 2011 and runs on Android 2.4underneath a table-optimized implementation of HTC Sense. Internally, it is powered by a single-core 1.5GHz processor together with 1GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage.

So, guess which telco is getting the first dibs of the new device here in Malaysia? Although the exclusivity status is unknown for now, it seemed that the HTC Flyer will at least be available through Maxis first. This was revealed through their Twitter account as they are now looking for reviewers to join their next batch of Maxis10 Reviewers’ Program which will be featuring the new tablet.

Judging from my past observation of the program - which have previously included iPhone 4 and recently, theNexus S - Maxis will usually put up a recruitment notice very near to the official launch of a highlighted device. So, if you are down for HTC Flyer, get ready for its arrival then.
