Here is ZDnet's deep dive into the HTC Flyer:

HTC ships the Flyer with a UI optimized for the tablet screen, Sense 2.1 for Tablet. This is essentially the same as Sense 3.0 for smartphones, but with better handling of the larger tablet screen. The UI works well in either screen orientation, with 3D used to nice effect. I should note that the screen can only be rotated to two of the four possible orientations, due to the transitioning buttons I have mentioned. This is not an inconvenience during usage.

What I really liked about this review (although he claims it's not quite a review) is the emphasis it places on the Flyer's stylus ("It’s all about the pen and Evernote"). I also think the pen is the best aspect of the HTC tablet.

The reviewer also answers the question regarding the tablet's durability. He states that he has dropped the Flyer (about two feet to a tile floor) without generating any damage, not even a scratch to it. Awesome, I must say!
