HTC launches Flyer tablet in India

NEW DELHI: Smartphone manufacturer HTC announced the launch of its first tablet -- HTC Flyer -- in India to compete with the already existing players such as Samsung's Galaxy Tab, BlackBerry Playbook and Apple iPad.

The seven-inch touch screen tablet is powered with HTC sense, a graphical user interface and it combines natural touch and pen interaction.

HTC also announced HTC watch, a new connected video service that will debut on HTC Flyer tablet, and will collaborate with the pioneer of cloud gaming OnLive, Inc to launch the first cloud-based mobile gaming service on a tablet.
