Norwegian site Amobil Tuesday leaked the specifications of HTC’s forthcoming tablet, the HTC Flyer, which will mark the company’s foray into the fast emerging and potentially lucrative tablet market.

As per the leak, the HTC Flyer will essentially take on the Samsung Galaxy Tab and will boast some compelling specs including a 7-inch stylus-operated screen with 1024x600 resolution; a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor model MSM8255; front- and rear-facing cameras; 1 GB of RAM; DLNA video-streaming; and HDMI out. Furthermore, the HTC Flyer, which will likely be released in March, will also support HSPA, the high-bandwidth 3G technology which made its debut with the T-Mobile G2.

The Amobil leak also hints that the HTC Flyer will feature the Android 2.3 version, instead of the tablet-specific Android 3.0 ‘Honeycomb’ version. Noting that HTC will also layer its Sense UI over the Android version, Amobil has speculated that HTC has gone with Android 2.3 for the Flyer because the company intends bringing its tablet on the market at the earliest possible.

However, the Amobil argument lacks weight, given the fact that Motorola Xoom, which will likely hit the markets late February, will reportedly be featuring that Android 3.0 version. Nonetheless, it is also being assumed that 10-inch Flyer (or Scribe, as it may be called) will probably ship with the Android 3.0 version.
