Notice I said "usually". The Flyer's schtick is the special digitizer which allows a special pen to be used. The 7" + is the Exynos processor. The Flyer is using a Hummingbird processor, which is a phone processor and has inferior 3D and video performance compared to the 'slower' Tegra2 chip. We've yet to see how the Exynos chip handles real-world tasks beyond browsing, which any decent processor can do well.
I don't consider the Flyer to be worth $400, not when it's been on sale for less in the US (but not Canada). The 7"+ at $300 might be worth it, if the screen is actually decent. But at $400, I can get a better tablet (which works better, versus just having a overclocked phone CPU) or splurge and get an iPad with more apps and usability. Or find a refurbished iPad for $400.
