Good: HTC Sense, Expandable Memory, among others
Bad: Price Tag
Comment: I've only taken half a star off for the price tag mainly because I got it on sale at half price but there is no way I would pay anywhere near the RRP it carries. I love that I can expand the memory, something I believe all tablets/devices should have. My nephews love this tablet, making it pure value for money for me alone, the speakers are brilliant leading to a lot of yells of, "turn it down!" when the boys are on YouTube. The videos play back beautifully as well. The video quality of the camera is great on the occasions I've used it. My nephew upon the arrival of my Nexus 7 asked if he could have my 'old' tablet. My response, "Nice Try!". This tablet has been well worth the price I paid for it but not the full price given the alternatives out there.

Good: Fun to use, small about the size of a paperback book
Bad: Completely unreliable
Comment: I’ve had this tablet since February and though it is easy to use unfortunately it is completely unreliable. In the few months I have owned this tablet is has locked up five times, in each case I tried the various options open when using the volume key and power switch combination.
On each occasion I have had to reset to factory settings, which means I lose any information on the tablet, all my settings are wiped out and I have to reload all the applications. HTC say it is probably a problem with one of my apps which is fine but I unfortunately the thing behaves for a week or two then goes belly up, it doesn’t have the consideration to do it when I load the offending application if that is what the problem is. I now have an expensive Kindle substitute which I use for drawing and surfing the internet and not much else as I don’t trust it with anything I need to keep safe. The downside it I have now aborted my purchase of the HTC one S as I don’t have any confidence in HTC, I have instead gone for the Nokia Lumia 800 base on having several Nokia phones over the years which have never let me down.

Good: display and speed are great
Bad: pen is useless and expensive
Comment: Not only do I own this, I'm writing this review with it. The tablet is bright, beautiful, and very very fast. Even on the WiFi version, it blazes. Best Buy just lowered the price to 300 bux so I jumped. The problem is the inclusion of the pen. It's 80 bux more and doesn't even work as a stylus. I cannot stress enough that the pen/note options are horrible. The smallest font is still so big you will never use it to write a full page of notes. While it has a certain cool factor, you're left with a 'why did they make it so expensive for just a marker that you can't write notes with?' feeling. If you're looking for a great tablet with good video, OS, and a good set of apps..go for it...just skip the pen. If you're looking for a note taking tablet, this isn't it. The pen is pretty much only good for highlighting.

Good: Excellent size for travelling, very good display, expandable memory to 64GB, stylish design.
Bad: Battery could be better
Comment: Unlike most people here I actually own this device. Lot of mis-information as well. For a start it lets you expand the memory with a microSD card, you can get HDMI output to your TV with a small USB adapter for an additional cost. The battery life is about 2 days of irregular usage, 1 day of normal browsing, emails usage, and maybe 6-7 hours video usage. So not great but this thing is a LOT smaller than iPads. Yes the price is high, but if you buy on a contract it is no worse than any of the others such as the XOOM etc.
All in all, both my wife and I love this device as it is great for travelling.

Good: nothing comes to mind

Good: HTC apps, looks, style
Bad: Battery life, latest android faliure
Comment: Over all it is a good phone specially for those who are not too much into technology. Everyone does not need Honeycomb 3.0. The disaster which HTC has done is with the battery life. When a device such as a tablet has a poor battery life, it does not make a sense to buy it. HTC can always try to fix this problem up.
