HTC Flyer To Get Honeycomb...Sometime

When the HTC Flyer was announced, they (HTC) said the tablet didn't have Honeycomb because they hadn't enough time to customize the OS with their Sense UI.
However, a recent tweet reply says that HTC are bringing the Android 3.0 update to the Flyer;

As you can see, HTC seem pretty confident in the upgrade, but a recent word from Google may say otherwise:

"Android 3.0, Honeycomb, was designed from the ground up for devices with larger screen sizes and improves on Android favorites such as widgets, multi-tasking, browsing, notifications and customization. While we're excited to offer these new features to Android tablets, we have more work to do before we can deliver them to other device types including phones. Until then, we've decided not to release Honeycomb to open source. We're committed to providing Android as an open platform across many device types and will publish the source as soon as it's ready"


Make of that what you will, but we wont be holding our breath on an update just yet.
