The Opinion:
The HTC Puccini is a very good tablet with a lot of features packed in it. However, the price is little bit too much, given that HTC has already suffered the failure of Xoom earlier this year. If the price tag is left out, you ought to consider Puccini if you are looking for a tab with great features.
