A closer look on the stylus and scribe:
http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/15/a...-aka-htc-scri/

I would be mostly interested in the pen-feature on this device, especially being able to highlight text in the reader and on PDFs.

I read that the Flyer is using the SDK from Foxit, this is a big plus since Foxit is a proven PDF reader.

The pen included with the Flyer is from N-Trig, one can only hope that handwriting-recognition on the Android platform is not too far away.

Apart from that it seems that Lenovo is working on a similar tablet with a 10 inch IPS screen with a screen resolution of 1280x800 (only rumours so far):

Than there's also the new Echo Smartpen from Livescribe for serious note taking/audio recording (requires special paper). If you don't need the audio recording capability there's the:
G-Note 7100 which works with regular paper:
I have a LiveScribe smartpen and a 7" 3G Galaxy Tab. If this thing can replace both, I'd be on it in a second. Sprint is supposed to be coming out with their version of the flyer (this month?). I'll be watching it closely.
