HP Teases With New Slate Video, Has All The Things The iPad Lacks

1 Comment

Tablet wars are getting hot these days, as you may noticed, with Apple gets to be the first to launch its new sleeky iPad device in the US, only two days ago, and HP that now teases us with the rumored 7-inch Windows 7-slate, that reappears in yet another mysterious video clip – this time showing myriad of components you won’t find in Steve Jobs’ dearest portable mate. And if you’re not a tech savvy or an early adopter, mind you these parts we’re talking about include a fancy schmancy USB hub, paired with an SD card expansion slot, some sort of cradle or installation dock to put your lavish device on, and most importantly: integrated webcam that would let you easily conduct multiple Skype talks. Still no official price or availability details to share at this point, but check this out boys and girls – if you plan watching the 30 second video after the break, look closely, because you’ll find a very suspicious USB cable plugged into HP’s slate, which ostentatiously runs Apple iTunes app in the background, and may (just may) indicate a potential for iPhone/ iPod Touch sync support (conspiracy blurbs).

TabletKiosk's 12.1-inch Sahara NetSlate a230T Tablet PC Introduced, a Non-friendly Price Tag Attached

TabletKiosk storms into the tablets market with a new 12.1-inch tablet pc device which apparently boasts the desert-like name, Sahara NetSlate a230T, and seems to have Intel’s Atom N270 processor along with some other cool specs that include either a mandatory 120GB hard drive or the optional SSD flavor, 1GB of RAM (upgradable to 2.0 GB), Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, Dual-Band Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n connectivity, an optional 3G/3.G WWAN Module, and design wise, a sleeky rounded-edges frame, housing two stereo speakers on both sides. Display, as mentioned, sized at 12.1-inch and sports a multi-touch screen experience, in case you’re using the embedded Windows XP OS, although the company will also provide some other alternatives on top of that, like openSUSE Linux version or Microsoft’s Windows Vista OS, which practically grants users a free copy of Windows 7, the moment the platform comes out . At that end, the a230T tablet machine is now listed on TableKiosk’s online shop, ready to be shipped right away – but before getting one, talk with your banker, it’s $1395 for the entry level model.
