    Its good, about 80 euro off the website as far as I can see http://www.htcflyerstore.com/ie/p_htcflyer_pre-order.aspx
    I only bought a tablet last week with great specs for 225 euro delivered.. Bigger screen but doesn't have scribe...

    including delivery the Flyer is costing €232.45

    If you are spending that sort of money another tablet to consider is the BlackBerry playbook which can be bought from Amazon inc. shipping for the 16Gb version for £189.99 (about €230) or the 32Gb version from Currys for €249.

    I bought the onda vi40 with ics , 9.7 screen and Hdmi out.. Very reasonably priced from www.GadgetFreakz.Co.uk

    Great tablet! Just my 2 cents

    Its played every format i've thrown at it so far,(a lot of different codes:) plays videos without stutter from external USB key no problem too... don't have it with me, but can check tonight... They have a good video review on their site.

    Great ips screen too, highly recommended

    I'd say try and get your hands on an Amazon Fire since they are the SAME hardware as the PlayBook but a lot cheaper.

    Do you mean the Playbook or the Flyer?

    I mean the HTC Flyer....the Playbook does not run Android at all, at least not natively.

    I have been looking at this tablet the past few weeks as well.Have you had any issues with it?Did you update it when you received it or was it OK to use straight away?Is the android market installed on it?

    They put market on it and quite a few other apps that I would have installed anyway myself, market fully working, with paid for apps working no problem...

    It has the very latest ics on it, they updated the whole thing so you just need to hit the on button and log in with your gmail account:)

    Battery life is surprisingly good, shadow gun is kind of stuttery, works fine on my gs2 and the wifi sometimes turns off when i'm not browsing our streaming,I don't know if this is a setting I missed or its trying to save battery... Anyone have suggestions?

    Basically I wanted a tablet to hop online and do some sketching,I didn't want a cheap piece of tech but didn't want to push more than 200 euro on what is essentially a toy... This tablet is the best value i've seen and well worth it, couldn't say a bad word about GadgetFreakz either,I annoyed them with over 20 emails before buying and they got back to me with answers swiftly

    Doesn't have blue tooth, but I never really use that any way, hdmi out is great and I just picked up a 32 gb sd card for 55 euro in laptop place in Stephens green... That and the internal 16 holds everything I need on the go... No 3g but can use wifi on gs2 to connect:)
