HTC EVO View 4G

It seems Htc is trying to take part in the tablet wars and has introduced into the market a Tablet called HTC EVO View 4G in the US and some other markets.

The HTC EVO View 4G is a 7'' Android tablet available only at Sprint (US). In terms of its hardware, it is identical to the HTC Flyer except for it's mobile connection. The EVO View 4G is equipped with EVDO rev A and WiMAX radio used for Sprint's data network.
The EVO View 4G is equipped with a 7'' 1024x600 resolution display, 32GB of built in memory, as well as front and back cameras. A Qualcomm MSM8655 processor powers this tablet, it is worth noting that it is a single core processor, as opposed to many tablets being released in the same time frame which are equipped with dual core processors.That is a bit disappointing. That said, the MSM8655 should provide adequate performance, and should have no problem playing back flash contents or the wide selection of games from Android Market. Whilst many tablets are released with Android 3.0 Honey Comb, the EVO View 4G will be introduced with Android 2.3.3 customised with HTC's Sense 3.0 user interface. Again, this should not be considered as a disadvantage as HTC's Sense UI has been well received in their other mobile devices such as the  popular Sprint EVO 4G.

Features / Specifications
 •7'' Capacitive display (1024x600)
•4000 mAh battery
•Android 2.3.3 with Sense 3.0
•Qualcomm MSM8655 1.5GHz processor
•1GB ram
•32GB internal memory
•Up to 32GB microSDHC compatible
•5MP back camera, 1.3MP front camera
•HTML5 & flash compatible
•A-GPS
•Micro USB, HDMI out, 3.5mm headphone jack


What I liked about the device?
LCD screen is fantastic on this device and provides great viewing angles and picture quality even in sunlight
Long battery life, especially for a 4G device, can last well longer than 12 hours of consistent use. We know we always need that.

What I dint like?
Camera quality (front and back) isn't the greatest especially in bright lighting when compared to other 7" tablets I did expect better quality from HTC.

Verdict:
Well if you already have a Htc phone and you like the sense UI then this is the tablet for you. Its a Must buy if you are in love with the sense UI cause I know how good it felt when I was using my Htc but now I don't. As a tablet its good but not the best. There are still other tablets available that are better value for money.
