We all knew that the HTC Flyer was due to land around 9 May - but until now we didn't have a confirmed price point.

And, despite retailers estimating that the damage for the 7-inch Android tab would be around £600, Expansys has opened up pre-orders for the device at £479.99. We've also received an email from the retailer stating it will be on sale "this week".

That price will buy you the 16GB Wi-Fi only version and Expansys states that: "if you place a pre-order for this product now, we will not ship the product or charge your credit card without confirming you still wish to proceed when stock arrives".

The HTC Flyer is a Gingerbread tablet that has HTC's Sense UI over the top. It is the Taiwanese manufacturer's first foray into the ever expanding tablet market.
