The HP Slate was introduced early January this year, but was presented a little clumsy. There’s now a new video showing the Slate in it’s full glory. Although the screen is smaller (and to me it seems a bit too small) than the iPad’s screen, the Slate has things to offer the iPad doesn’t have.
In 30 seconds HP tries to show their product in a nicely designed (and edited) video. A big pro might be the built-in camera. You can make photos and have video-chats. There will also be support for Flash, since the Slate will run Windows 7. I don’t know how long the battery will last with an operating system like this one, but I don’t have high hopes. On the other hand, you can install third party apps without the need of some kind of App Store. As for the necessary ports: the Slate has USB-ports and an SD card reader.
I’m very curious to see how HP will perform in this ‘new’ market.
