I'm not anti-apple, I have an Iphone, and after a year of ownership it's limitations really piss me off. I was keen on the ipad, until i saw it's just a big iphone and therefore a total waste of money. Finally someone has made some viable competition. Go HP. You've got more of my money (and no, I won't be buying an iphone 4 either - there's NO improvement)
Ipads are useless vanity toys that can only use 25% of the real web fully. The HP slate on the other hand uses Flash so you get the full real web experience and you can actually get real work done on it because it has the solid Windows 7 OS. Buying the Slate! Sorry Steve Jobs you will never imprison me in your increasingly sick controlling apple empire.
Funny how they kept plugin obama pics, mau sa tung & NY times all going NOWHERE. GO TO HELL HP, I'm NOT supporting NO LIBERAL AGENDA.. A laptop will do just fine for me along with my 3 pc's..
it's funny how this video is hating on Apple...like, 75% of the web is flash...lol yeah, if you do a lot of web-adds surfing. flash player here, flash player there...so funny. html5 is the future and flash will soon go to merely 5% and won't have such a good name anymore. I'm not hating, just saying. I like flash, so please improve it in order to stay on top which doesn't rely on flashy advertisement crounched all over the page in almost all websites nowadays. this video was funny...hahahhaaa
@pentanoninux If both devices will eventually be able to load html5 material then isn't it better to go for the device that also plays flash for the time being? I'm not hating, just saying. i don't like the fact that i can't play a video someone posted on facebook from my iPhone because it's in flash. I can't imagine going through that frustration with the iPad and that is exactly why im looking at alternatives.....which is what brought me to this video.
Nice! Windows 7... finally a tablet device that wont be useless for IT people and geeks alike. I really hope this happens. The only thing i'd like to see is some sturdy but portable snap-on keyboard. Something similar to the slide-out smart phone keyboards but a little bigger and a more tactile experience. If it could snap onto either side of the device for use in landscape and portrait modes. I'd be set!
I hope they can come up next time with something without touching the screen.. browsing, typing, clicking & navigating only with your mind. I'm too lazy to put my fingers on the screen.
First this product ran Windows 7. Then it didn't because HP liked the idea of having the HP Slate running the WebOS. After that, they came up with a product configuration called the "HP Slate 500" that ran windows 7. Now that config. will only be available for corporate use, and the WebOS will be for the consumer market. I wish HP would quit changing their minds because if this device ran Windows 7, then the possibilities would be endless.
this looks more promising for websites and things that run on flash or Air. though full-blown MS office would run like crap. But I would still avoid most flash sites. Sorry Adobe, but a lot of viruses or online ID theft I've heard about were done with loopholes in flash.
right... w7- huge os- less battery w7- antivirus required w7- lots of resources- slow w7+hp add-on interface - really slow w7- will require a stylus w7- apps will run like on a netbook - slow w7- problems may appear- bosd hp- warranty just sucks hp- support just sucks hp software- just sucks flash- lots of resources - slow + less battery this device is just a netbook without a kb but with a poor touchscreen ipad it's something new with a lot of potential - i'll buy that.
@crashnoww i was about to buy a Ipad but after using one and for a while i decided i was better off waiting for some company to come out with a tablet computer which works not a i pad that only works on 25%of web sites one that can run more than one app at a time unlike i pad which can only run one at a time.
it is time apple got there head out of there ar** and looked at what the world wants not what they want to force everyone to use
Looks great and technically this should trump the iPad. However, just looking at the OS you could definitely tell that Apple has the upper hand. It's a lot more simple and I'm sure a lot more mobile users are more use to Apple devices than a portable Windows. Not only that but the HP slate looks very generic and rigid. All I got to see now is how smooth the multi touch is.
This definitely won't sell more than the iPad but it certainly a great contender especially with the adobe flash support.
@FloOFy2 It looks like a large iphone 4 (not generic in the least). Windows is a real OS. Imagine running Photoshop. Can the iPad do that? NO! Will Adobe make an app for the iPad? Don't count on it as Adobe doesn't like Apple's closed application structure.
Besides... someone will make an iPad emulator and everyone will be happy.
you can't be serious. not saying that an ipad emulator wouldn't be possible, but it would run like crap. this is a 1.8Ghz atom isn't it? that's comparable at best to the ipad hardware, emulation is very inefficient, + it's running win7.
all that said, I am more interested in the HP slate mainly due to the restrictions of alternatives like the ipad. iOS/android won't support the devices/websites I want to use. lets be realistic though, this is not powerful enough to run most software
This video has nothing to do with HP Slate or Windows or anything along those lines. This video is only about the fact that the iPad does not support Flash for obvious reasons. It is a pretty cheap shot at Apple from Adobe.
@arulflorance not to start a flame war here (really) but I think most of us will trade the iPad's hand touch design (which is charming, btw) for the awkward windows 7 touch navigation (it is after all designed for a mouse and a keyboard originally, not a hand) as long as we get:
-flash
-multitasking
2 greatest things the iPad (or any iStuff for that matter) lacks, which is rather surprising since they had such a big start in the industry.
Just look how hard they have to push on a link! also have you noticed that they showed nothing that requires touch flow! because windows suck at touch,no way it will be as smooth as ipad no matter what they do since they are using windows on it.it wont beat the ipad unless they change the OS and make touch flow and multitouch smooth.Watch it get out of business and die in short time.
this hp slate has a terrible lag it sucks!!!!!! ipad never has a lag!!! i hate hp if they wanted to be go against the ipad make the device smoother and no lag. IPAD OWNS!!1 plus ipad ios4 will have flash Maybe. and the keyboard on that thing sucks
@ddman221 This is still in development, it probably won't have as much lag when it's released. Plus flash uses a lot of data so yeah, there is going to be lag at times, there is lag when playing flash games on my computer at times.
Um... Jobs would die before allowing flash on an iOS device. You're going to be very disappointed by iOS 4 on iPad.
The iPad is just a super expensive iPod touch with less features and conveniences than the iPod touch. This is coming from a rabid Apple fan.
@usernamessuck58 ive used an ipad , and while there are changes to it from the ipod , its not enough to take away the title of "big itouch" . Plus they mislead people when they said you could use the full internet and then it didnt have flash
@ddman221 usernamesucks58 is right, there will not be any flash in any iStuff anytime soon because if people can watch TV online for free on sites like Hulu, then they will no longer purchase them through iTunes. Apple is simply protecting its content revenue. Look it up if you like.
Well looks fat, slow and ugly but the only good thing is flash but Im not going to buy this tablet for games and videos I need it for work Like iWork. HP Rocks but Flash Sucks and remember windows have a lot of virus :(
Not an iPad killer ! just a new tablet pc which exist long time before HP SLATE , we want something like the iPad and even better
most important thing for me : NO LAG ... i hate lagging and choking in MultiTouch Devices ! i want a soft ... smooth .. moving object with high sensitivity
@cesarbattistinim it is I cannot wait to see it when it comes out!! please kill the ipad its a over size ipod touch thats missing have the features the ipod touch offers...shoulda stuck with the phones mac
I wouldn't use it if they paid me to. It doesn't even have a tablet OS. It runs on Windows 7 with a cumbersome application layer shell for the tablet controls. It also appears that HP has already ditched the device for this reason.
I hope this comes out, i wanna use it to log into my other pc from anywhere in the house. I can only do that with windows, and this is one of the few that are using windows.
iPad's battery life is only because there's not multitasking. It will get that soon and it will reduce the battery life a bit.
This device will terminate IPAD "i cant handle flash" coffe holder. At least HP respects 95% of the web content unlike apple!. Give a thumbs up if you agree!
@maxfxgr but apple did pull a sly move by aiming itself to html5. immediately after, major flash content distributers began to encode their stuff for html5 (google docs, scribd, youtube, even the big porno producers)
the iPad can take advantage of html5 online content while preserving its 10-11 hours of batttery life. this device, even if it existed, wud only lose from its already sucky 5-hour battery life. app store is just as capable and streamlined, while touch flash apps wud still crash
Hp acquired palm. They booked the windows 7 idea. They are now going to use webos. Which is pretty good mobile platform. Win 7 is made for laptops and desktops.
@SteveDutchy I heard they will come out with both a simple webos version and windows version that can have all the productive software you already use.
@erlendpeder It looks laggy? This is why iproduct users exist. idiots find the dumbest thing to say and repeat others complaint. I have a P88 and I love it. I am a graphic artist (my computers make me money) There is not one app on an ipad that can make money. Yet you ipad/iphone users constantly negate useful items for your useless items.
What can you do productive with you flawless, perfect, no crashing, beautiful ipad? Any Ifan can reply!
HAHA! This must be a joke... The thing is not simplistic. All clunky. (interface wise) To cluttered and not very graphic appealing. iPad is the killer here...
This won't outsell the iPad, the interface alone can't be compared to the ios experience and ease of use, we'l see who has the last laugh, i still hope the HP slate does good though competition is never bad.
If Flash was so awesome on mobile devices, it would be working, flawlessly on smart phones, right now. Heck, it should've been working at least 3 years ago. Buy-bye Flash.
flash does not slow down ur CPU..'cmon now..but i agree html5 IS the future, but with a full web-browser like the one on the Slate..that doesn't really matter both flash and html5 features would work..see, Slate has the advantage over the ipad!
plus in my opinion, the webcam makes up for the lack of thousands of apps.
Flash sucks, slows down your CPU, HTML5 is the future, Flash is old technology. Hp touch screens are slow, laggy, and you get frustrated tapping on what you want because it doesn't always register your "touch." Adobe knows they will be out of business in the future and this is their propaganda to keep around flash. Try the HP touchsmart, has the same touch technology and its not as fluid as the ipad. The HP slate is just a netbook with slow touch technology.
@lSHANXl How do you know this won't be different?? This thing was really convincing, but of course they'd make it that way if they knew their company was dying...ha ha. Yes, the HP Touchsmart's touch screen DOES suck. A lot. I'm just wondering if that'd change by the time they release this device in September? HTML5 IS the future, but is that future close enough? I heard it's not being released/finalized until 2022. Check out ishtml5readyyet. com. Sites use flash, and users want a full-webExp.:)
Steve Jobs wants to create a future of media consuming idiots. Adobe aka Macromedia is the reason the web looks so good. They are giving people a chance to create mobile content with Air. You might not want to be in an app store, but want to create your own personal apps. Flash!!!
this would be nice if it was a little bit smoother but the keyboard is tiny it only has 5 hours of battery life and its running windows 7....i think ill stick with apple on this one :D
I mean you just spent over 600 bucks for something that can't go to most websites. That's dumb. Eventually Apple will have to put flash on their if they want to compete with their competitors because they will have a full functional web tool and Apple won't. So it just hurts the consumer because they'll have to buy a newer version that can.
Basically Apple wanted to push this new product out before it was fully ready to keep stocks up.
@redjohn2008 Its just not necessary dude, using Windows 7, U can have millions n millions of programs n best thing its that those are 4 freee XD... lolol, Ipad it doen't have even One songle USB port n its not full HD like Slate. Come on dude, dont try to defend something that its just and Ipod touch but bigger lolol
@matty12345a1 Not as long as it runs Windows. If it runs WebOS it will be a little more scary for the iPad. Windows, no matter which way you slice it (hear that Steve Ballmer?), will NEVER be a pleasant experience on on touch screen devices.... I hope HP let's Palm do the OS part by itself and keeps its fingers out of it... lol.
@DarkHorse171 And the thoughts are essentially that 'the world should change from Flash because we say so'. Apple has NO credible reason for not having Flash, and at the end of the day its users who lose out, because half the web won't work. Hell, you can't even go to the Toy Story website on an iPad - kinda ironic since Steve Jobs started Pixar....
@spartan73 Yes you are correct. But I would be hesitant to say it was for a bad reason. I believe they are going to make it better. Especially if they chose to implement a tablet with WebOS :)
Apple HATES flash for ONE reason only! Flash will cut into their appstore profits by introducing Hundreds of FREE flash online based games!

@erlendpeder It looks laggy? This is why iproduct users exist. idiots find the dumbest thing to say and repeat others complaint. I have a P88 and I love it. I am a graphic artist (my computers make me money) There is not one app on an ipad that can make money. Yet you ipad/iphone users constantly negate useful items for your useless items.
What can you do productive with you flawless, perfect, no crashing, beautiful ipad? Any Ifan can reply!

@gibboofscotland Actually, the HP Slate was announced and first demonstrated BEFORE the iPad. So, the tables are turned.

This won't outsell the iPad, the interface alone can't be compared to the ios experience and ease of use, we'l see who has the last laugh, i still hope the HP slate does good though competition is never bad.

flash does not slow down ur CPU..'cmon now..but i agree html5 IS the future, but with a full web-browser like the one on the Slate..that doesn't really matter both flash and html5 features would work..see, Slate has the advantage over the ipad!
plus in my opinion, the webcam makes up for the lack of thousands of apps.
Eeriekid 1 year ago
Flash sucks, slows down your CPU, HTML5 is the future, Flash is old technology. Hp touch screens are slow, laggy, and you get frustrated tapping on what you want because it doesn't always register your "touch." Adobe knows they will be out of business in the future and this is their propaganda to keep around flash. Try the HP touchsmart, has the same touch technology and its not as fluid as the ipad. The HP slate is just a netbook with slow touch technology.

@lSHANXl How do you know this won't be different?? This thing was really convincing, but of course they'd make it that way if they knew their company was dying...ha ha. Yes, the HP Touchsmart's touch screen DOES suck. A lot. I'm just wondering if that'd change by the time they release this device in September? HTML5 IS the future, but is that future close enough? I heard it's not being released/finalized until 2022. Check out ishtml5readyyet. com. Sites use flash, and users want a full-webExp.:)

Steve Jobs wants to create a future of media consuming idiots. Adobe aka Macromedia is the reason the web looks so good. They are giving people a chance to create mobile content with Air. You might not want to be in an app store, but want to create your own personal apps. Flash!!!

Yeah, I won't buy an iPad.
I mean you just spent over 600 bucks for something that can't go to most websites. That's dumb. Eventually Apple will have to put flash on their if they want to compete with their competitors because they will have a full functional web tool and Apple won't. So it just hurts the consumer because they'll have to buy a newer version that can.
Basically Apple wanted to push this new product out before it was fully ready to keep stocks up.

daas8214 1 year ago
@matty12345a1 Not as long as it runs Windows. If it runs WebOS it will be a little more scary for the iPad. Windows, no matter which way you slice it (hear that Steve Ballmer?), will NEVER be a pleasant experience on on touch screen devices.... I hope HP let's Palm do the OS part by itself and keeps its fingers out of it... lol.

DarkHorse171 1 year ago
@DarkHorse171 And the thoughts are essentially that 'the world should change from Flash because we say so'. Apple has NO credible reason for not having Flash, and at the end of the day its users who lose out, because half the web won't work. Hell, you can't even go to the Toy Story website on an iPad - kinda ironic since Steve Jobs started Pixar....
