No, there's been tablets without keyboards for a long time. Slate is apples word for tablet, like ipod is apples word for mp3 player.]]>Jan 5th 2010 9:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/microsoft-to-reveal-hp-slate-tomorrow/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/microsoft-to-reveal-hp-slate-tomorrow/
I think by "can go either way" he allowed for the possibility of a keyboardless tablet not being marketed as a slate.

and about apple calling it a slate... I would say something but I think you know better and I am being trolled]]>Jan 5th 2010 9:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/microsoft-to-reveal-hp-slate-tomorrow/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/microsoft-to-reveal-hp-slate-tomorrow/
The word "slate" describes a particular kind of tablet... and has been around longer than the Apple thing...

"Slate" tablets have no keyboard... "convertible" tablets have the swivel screen... "hybrid" tablets have a removable keyboard... and "booklet" tablets are what the Courier is.

Wiki-ing is fun!

Windows 7 has great tablet support in it. Sorry this isnt a iTard device that you were hoping for.

Windows devices sell in the hundreds of millions, Apples computers not so much. That's reality buddy.]]>Jan 5th 2010 10:07PM
