HTC Flyer & Onlive?

---

I picked up my HTC Flyer this evening at Best Buy. General feel and speed of the device is very quick. I did not get the pen yet. They did not have any of those in stock at the particular store I was at.

My question however deals with the Onlive service. I was under the impression that the Flyer would come with Onlive built in to the system... However, I cannot find it or find any additional detail on the service. This was supposed to be one of the key selling points I thought.

Anyone have any details?

I have no details. Reviewers mentioned it was coming soon. I assume it has simply been delayed. But, it does bother me HTC has said nothing about it, and removed mentions of it from all their marketing and promotional videos.

Rather than start a new thread, maybe this will be useful! Engadget has a video demoing OnLive on our lovely Flyer's with a wireless controller!

Check here!

I wondering is this was a lovely bit of marketing spin.

In that 'eventually' you will be able to use Onlive (once Onlive is ready), but the way it was marketing suggested to you (and the rest of us) that it would be from launch.

I suspect if we looked, we'd be hard pushed to see anything from either party (HTC or Onlive) that actually says from launch.

Similarilly I'd thought I'd seen in some of the media/PR around MWC that with the Flyer you'd be able to use Skype supporting video. Now again that doesn't seem to be the case, as Microsoft don't yet have a freely available version of SkyPe available that supports video under Android.

Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy my Flyer but I feel with a handful of apps and services not available like they claimed, it is extremely disappointing. This tablet feels really rushed and it is strange because they were one of the last companies to market a tablet device. My impression originally is that Honeycomb would be released for it shortly after it was released but I keep reading it won't be released for potentially 3-5 months from now. I can't complain about Honeycomb too much because I knew that way before purchasing it but still...

In my opinion I don't think honey will take that long bc the 10" version is going to have honey on it with the scrib also. Im prety sure that i herd and saw on some reviews from HTC view that it will be getting honey shortly after launch which is June 24, so I'm thinking once the 10" comes out or right around that time the ota will be sent out. The 10" is supposed to hit this summer july. I have a friend with HTC and he also said when I asked him before flyer hit the shelf, "its coming soon after flyer's launch, along with onlive probably coming with the update."
