Of course if you look for a precedence of attaching an I to the front of an otherwise known word, then Iomega predates that by several years (just not lowercase). There were Iomega Zip or Jaz drives at virtually every desk by 1997. They were certainly a household name.]]>Jan 5th 2010 12:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/halerons-ilet-10-inch-tablet-starts-cheap-gets-expensive-ship/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/halerons-ilet-10-inch-tablet-starts-cheap-gets-expensive-ship/Jan 5th 2010 1:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/halerons-ilet-10-inch-tablet-starts-cheap-gets-expensive-ship/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/halerons-ilet-10-inch-tablet-starts-cheap-gets-expensive-ship/Jan 5th 2010 1:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/halerons-ilet-10-inch-tablet-starts-cheap-gets-expensive-ship/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/halerons-ilet-10-inch-tablet-starts-cheap-gets-expensive-ship/Jan 5th 2010 10:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/halerons-ilet-10-inch-tablet-starts-cheap-gets-expensive-ship/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/halerons-ilet-10-inch-tablet-starts-cheap-gets-expensive-ship/and where do you put the iSlate ?]]>Jan 5th 2010 10:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/halerons-ilet-10-inch-tablet-starts-cheap-gets-expensive-ship/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/halerons-ilet-10-inch-tablet-starts-cheap-gets-expensive-ship/Jan 5th 2010 12:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/halerons-ilet-10-inch-tablet-starts-cheap-gets-expensive-ship/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/halerons-ilet-10-inch-tablet-starts-cheap-gets-expensive-ship/

Close, however it's more like this, historically.

No KB = Slate Tablet
Yes KB = Convertible Tablet

Are we seeing a common word? ]]>Jan 5th 2010 11:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/halerons-ilet-10-inch-tablet-starts-cheap-gets-expensive-ship/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/halerons-ilet-10-inch-tablet-starts-cheap-gets-expensive-ship/
I personally think the slate designation is to come up with a new name that implies a more limited use device that does not meet the already formed tablet spec. Most of the systems being referred to as slates are running lightweight mobile OSes like Android, CE or the mythical iPhone OX 4. They are not full on PC grade OSes.

That's an android tablet and pretty cool IMO. I want to see what the other platforms have to offer (Android,OS X, JooJoo, etc) .

Historically a tablet usually implied that the words or images were engraved in stone, however a slate was something that was written on with a media that could be washed off (charcoal, chalk, etc.).

So Tablets were more like DVD-R, and Slates were like a DVD-RW]]>Jan 5th 2010 12:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/halerons-ilet-10-inch-tablet-starts-cheap-gets-expensive-ship/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/halerons-ilet-10-inch-tablet-starts-cheap-gets-expensive-ship/Jan 5th 2010 12:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/halerons-ilet-10-inch-tablet-starts-cheap-gets-expensive-ship/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/halerons-ilet-10-inch-tablet-starts-cheap-gets-expensive-ship/Jan 5th 2010 2:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/halerons-ilet-10-inch-tablet-starts-cheap-gets-expensive-ship/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/halerons-ilet-10-inch-tablet-starts-cheap-gets-expensive-ship/Jan 5th 2010 3:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/halerons-ilet-10-inch-tablet-starts-cheap-gets-expensive-ship/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/halerons-ilet-10-inch-tablet-starts-cheap-gets-expensive-ship/http://haleron.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=17&category_id=6&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=27]]>Jan 5th 2010 4:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/halerons-ilet-10-inch-tablet-starts-cheap-gets-expensive-ship/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/halerons-ilet-10-inch-tablet-starts-cheap-gets-expensive-ship/Jan 31st 2010 9:54PM
