If there's one thing Android enthusiasts love, it's a good deal. Oh, and an unlocked bootloader. And timely software updates. But mostly good deals. To that end, we draw your attention to Buy.com, where HTC's Flyer tablet is on sale for just $199.99, plus free shipping. It's a refurbished 16GB model, but the Flyer beats out a lot of tablets at that price point. You don't get HTC's add-on stylus, but on the plus side, the update to Honeycomb is out... so the tablet's only one major Android release behind at this point.

When the HTC Flyer launched way back in May, Android 3.0 Honeycomb was in its infancy, which made the Flyer's smartphone OS easier to swallow.

While there's no official word, a brief conversation between a French HTC Hub member and customer service indicates that an ICS update is scheduled for the first quarter of this year.

Though Best Buy recently pulled their HTC Flyer from their online store, the "Now" network's EVO View 4G - essentially the same device - has an Android 3.2 (Honeycomb) update available for download. It will be pushed to devices tomorrow, but can be easily downloaded and updated today. Honeycomb brings some much needed features to the EVO View 4G, and the most noticeable being the new "Notifications" menu.

Could the Flyer be discontinued? It is no longer available for purchase on Best Buy's website, and the trend may follow with other retailers soon. It has been discounted many times over the past couple months, and may be nearing the end of its shelf-life. Of course, after using the tablet myself - it functions better than many of the current tabs out there.

The popular 7" HTC Flyer tablet has finally made a safe landing at T-Mobile this week. Way back in June it cleared the FCC with T-Mobile bands but that was the last we've heard of it until today. While not for sale from T-Mobile themselves you can buy the T-Mobile powered HTC Flyer right now from HTC's website. With a new 2-year agreement the price is just $299, like it's been for a while at Best Buy.

After some already dramatic reductions last week, it looks like the HTC Flyer is getting the fire sale treatment from the US' largest electronics retailer.
