The HTC Flyer, the WiFi version of the HTC Evo View 4G, will be exclusively offered by Best Buy in the US. Starting today, April 24th, Best Buy is already availabel for "pre-sale", probably meaning pre-orders. The tablet is already available for pre-order across the pond and today the US too gets it's share of the pre-order of it all stuff. HTC is putting a very lovable price on the WiFi only device, which will retail for $449.

Why is the price lovable even if the tablet runs on just Android Gingerbread and not Honeycomb? First, HTC already promised that the tablet will be getting the Honeycomb update it deserves. Second, the tablet boasts a 32GB internal memory plus a microSD card slot that (even if they have not confirmed yet) will surely support up to 32GB of external storage. The device's specs are below.
