One of the standout features of the Flyer is its HTC Scribe technology, which utilizes the bundled stylus for note-taking and sketching. This capability stands out in a market saturated with touch-only devices, appealing to students and creative professionals alike. The stylus can capture handwritten notes and sketches, converting them into digital format, thereby enhancing productivity.

HTC's Sense UI further enriches the user experience, providing an intuitive interface that makes navigation a breeze. The Flyer runs on Android Honeycomb 3.0, optimized specifically for tablets, offering a host of applications that take advantage of the larger screen. Additionally, the device supports Wi-Fi connectivity, along with optional 3G capabilities, allowing users to stay connected on the go.
