    Oh dear, this isn’t good. HTC’s Flyer tablet, which we saw in Barcelona at MWC, has set itself apart with its unique (among today’s tablets) pen input. Of course, it’s not a resistive screen and the stylus isn’t just a pointer — it’s a separate piece of electronics, like those used on Wacom tablets, and according to Best Buy, it’s going to run you $80. I know that’s the going rate, but still, it’s a fair bit of cash.

    Let’s hope the tablet (expected to cost $500 for a base configuration) comes with one of these things. And try not to lose it!

    Update: Yes, it comes with. It’s not in the Best Buy description but it’s in the box.
