It will be only a iPhone with a larger screen. But one thing is sure, it will set another new industrial standard among other tablets.

Perhaps, Apple will introduce another online store to sell books, magazine & newspaper. In additions, Apple may have a new reader application to read all the books, magazines, newspaper etc.

Alternatively, all books can be distributed in forms of Apps and be sold in App Store.

All newspapers can be viewed via Safari (full version) with flash plugins or other codec plugins for the added features in the websites. Or they can be read from Apps which are tailor-made by the newspaper companies.

We can do all of these (except flash) now in iPhone, but with a small screen. We can also do all of these on laptop/netbook(and more), but being heavier and bulky.

Some fresh user experience will be added in the device, like the multi-touch in iPhone.

However, I hope Apple to do them simple. Using Mac OSX is like using Windows now. It is full of features that someone needs time to learn and the usage is not as intuitive as in the past.

Hardwarewise, Apple wins. They have good design plus renovated user interface.

You guys crack me up, you really do. "Hardware wise, Apple wins." Because you've personally seen the spec sheet for this device Apple hasn't even acknowledged exists, right? Oh, loved your utopian vision of what the device should do, too. I imagined monks doing a gregorian chant in the background while reading that. Did it take an entire box of tissues to clean up after you finished typing?

They want their machine to be thought of as a new concept device not just another Tablet or Slate computer. They will not make the same mistake Microsoft and HP did and just introduce a MAC in a tablet form. There device will be a controlled access device like the iPhone where all content will come from iTunes so they can get a cut of all your media and app purchases. It will not be an open operating system like MAC and Windows it will be just an extension of the iPhone OS. Easy enough for the masses to use without the Geek learning curve. Give it to a toddler and he can use it. No Control key. No MAC keys. Just swipe here touch there and run your media and apps.

you've done a bang up job contributing yourself. I'll leave that for the editors. if you want to know my two cents so damn badly though, I really like how she nailed him at the end with the "why 2010 for the slate?" question. it was a good way to sort of poke at them seemingly snagging the 'slate' name from the dregs of the internet. and the intense staring he was doing at her, which she was trying to avert by looking at his wild hand and arm gestures.]]>Jan 26th 2010 1:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/hp-slate-teases-us-with-another-video-appearance/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/hp-slate-teases-us-with-another-video-appearance/Jan 26th 2010 6:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/hp-slate-teases-us-with-another-video-appearance/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/hp-slate-teases-us-with-another-video-appearance/Jan 26th 2010 1:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/hp-slate-teases-us-with-another-video-appearance/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/hp-slate-teases-us-with-another-video-appearance/

Seeing them releasing a Tablet, obviously to compete with Apple's super tablet is just exciting. And wow, Steve Ballmer seems to be shy on revealing the specs too early. Just what you expect with a CEo of his astute. More details of HP slate: http://bit.ly/hp-slate-tablet-details

HP should of had working models ready on the day they announced it. Released it alongside all those desktop and laptop refreshes. It might have actually killed a little of the Apple Buzz.

But only showing off a concept model is useless, especially when Apple unveils things that you are actually going to be able to buy either that day, or in a month or two.

This is why Apple is good at product launches, cause they don't tease us with a concept and tell us we can't have it, they tease us with subtle leaks of reality and tell us "soon".

Part of me wants a Tablet, but most of me wants a 5" iPhone with a high res display.]]>Jan 26th 2010 7:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/hp-slate-teases-us-with-another-video-appearance/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/hp-slate-teases-us-with-another-video-appearance/
Phil McKinney is absolutely right when saying it's a 'perfect storm' of tech. It's only since the advent of inexpensive but powerful CPUs, whether ARM or X86 based, and the lowered cost of LCD displays, memory, storage etc, that affordable computers have become a reality, which really took off with the netbook.

One could argue that Apple has seen the growth of small form factor computing, and the Apple slate is THEIR attempt to compete in that arena.]]>Jan 26th 2010 10:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/hp-slate-teases-us-with-another-video-appearance/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/hp-slate-teases-us-with-another-video-appearance/Jan 26th 2010 2:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/hp-slate-teases-us-with-another-video-appearance/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/hp-slate-teases-us-with-another-video-appearance/
