HTC Flyer DOA As Two Improved Siblings Are Scheduled For Later This Year ?

I think all of us know the HTC Android tablet, the HTC Flyer which was showcased recently at the Mobile World Congress, and recently announced for Sprint under the name of the HTC Evo View. Although still quite far from its release date ( well somewhat far ), there are some rumors according to which the tablet will have two larger siblings joining in on the party. If you’re interested then keep on reading folks.

The rumor started when DigiTimes based their story on some news from a series of Taiwanese touch-panel manufacturers. As such, it seems that the HTC Flyer will be going on sale in small volumes as it seems that the  manufacturer doesn’t want to go to overboard with the tablet ( sales being rumored to start sometime in April ). This very fact has actually been fuel for some people that have called the HTC Flyer D.O.A. for quite some time now. Anyway, the sources are stating that the components ordered up by HTC are suggesting that two more tablets will be joining hands with the HTC Flyer.

These new tablets would somewhat be similar to the way Samsung approached the whole tablet market. We first saw the Samsung Galaxy Tab and its 7 inch display and now we have two more on the way looking out to fill the room with the 8.9 inch and 10.1 inch versions of the tablet. HTC might be going for something similar with the Flyer being its very own version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab.

It’s also rumored that these new tablets will be here in order to fix some of the shortcomings of the HTC Flyer. In this regard we might see the bigger display at work as well as Android 3.0 Honeycomb right out of the box, along with some dual-core processors. No offense, but with the aggressive pricing policy Samsung, Apple and (even) Motorola are going for, it’s really hard to want to join in on the party with something which is less than dual-core powered and has anything less than the latest operating system running on it.
