HTC to slay the iPad 2 with Honeycomb tablet announcement on June 27th?The big brother to the HTC Flyer may be headed our way on Monday, June 27th. The company has begun sending out invites to a press event in London. An Android Honeycomb tablet, among other devices, is expected to headline the show.

We’ve known for some time HTC was planning a larger tablet. Codenamed Puccini, the soon-to-be announced slate will ship with Android 3.1 Honeycomb and include 4G support for AT&T’s HSPA+ network. Unlike the HTC Flyer which uses the pen/stylus, Pucinni will be all fingers.  The slate is rumored to use a 1280 x 800 pixel display and feature Qualcomm’s MSM8660 1.5GHz dual-core processor.

Existing HTC Flyer owners are also expected to be in for a treat Monday. ITProPortal is reporting a HTC Flyer running Android 3.2 Honeycomb will be showcased. A release date for the HTC Flyer Android 3.2 update is expected at the event.

There’s still many questions left unanswered surrounding the HTC Puccini — namely the price. Will HTC look to undercut the £600 32GB HTC Flyer or will this be another overpriced tablet reserved for the rich and famous?

    I would have thought that the iPad was already slain by the Asus Transformer! At least it has card slots and USB ports and a super docking station.

    The event isn’t for the tablet. It’s cause they have a new office!
