if you look carefully at the datasheet

http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/12718_na/12718_na.HTML

you will see that you can configure a webcam on selected models of the 2710p:

Integrated Camera (select models)

2 Megapixel (1600 x 1200 max resolution)
Manual adjust Macro lens
Full 30 frames/sec video at 800x600 or VGA (640x480) resolution


i agree with you it is quite well hidden feature ...

It's a nice looking device, if you don't need high performance.

I recently sold my Macbook Pro because I couldn't bear the Cult of Mac, but man, was the built in webcam quality good (along with most other components). I bought a Samsung Q1U for a travel computer, and man is the webcam quality awful. Basically useless. It's more than just a checklist item.

Maybe they will offer a decently priced solid state hard disk by the time the product is released, or just upgrade it yourself - with the price of 2GB SO-DIMMS finally reasonable, it only makes sense to at least do your own memory upgrade.]]>Jul 16th 2007 10:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/16/pricing-announced-for-hp-compaqs-2710p-tablet-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/16/pricing-announced-for-hp-compaqs-2710p-tablet-pc/Jul 16th 2007 10:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/16/pricing-announced-for-hp-compaqs-2710p-tablet-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/16/pricing-announced-for-hp-compaqs-2710p-tablet-pc/Is it grainy - due to the digitizer (?) - like the TX series of tablet screens?
And is it matte? Or is there a matte option?

The TX screen gave me headaches as everything was slightly blurry. Plus for bright environments - think car tablet with GPS - the screen was unreadable. It was one pure reflection of anything in the car. I had to return it to the store. I've looked at some slightly different 12" HP Tablets, but they all use that same screen.

I thought the bezel buttons were handy in tablet mode, but maybe HP now has a software solution for those? ]]>Jul 16th 2007 10:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/16/pricing-announced-for-hp-compaqs-2710p-tablet-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/16/pricing-announced-for-hp-compaqs-2710p-tablet-pc/to glare complaints :)

"12.1 in Illumi-Lite, WXGA UWVA, anti-glare with Digitizer"

The 271 model even lists:

"12.1 in Illumi-Lite, WXGA UWVA, anti-glare with Digitizer and Outdoor View"

Hoping there will be reviews soon.]]>Jul 16th 2007 10:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/16/pricing-announced-for-hp-compaqs-2710p-tablet-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/16/pricing-announced-for-hp-compaqs-2710p-tablet-pc/Jul 16th 2007 10:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/16/pricing-announced-for-hp-compaqs-2710p-tablet-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/16/pricing-announced-for-hp-compaqs-2710p-tablet-pc/If active, what type..Wacom?]]>Jul 16th 2007 12:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/16/pricing-announced-for-hp-compaqs-2710p-tablet-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/16/pricing-announced-for-hp-compaqs-2710p-tablet-pc/Jul 16th 2007 2:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/16/pricing-announced-for-hp-compaqs-2710p-tablet-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/16/pricing-announced-for-hp-compaqs-2710p-tablet-pc/Jul 16th 2007 2:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/16/pricing-announced-for-hp-compaqs-2710p-tablet-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/16/pricing-announced-for-hp-compaqs-2710p-tablet-pc/Jul 16th 2007 10:53PM
