Oh yeah, and Apple makes things that work and work well. It's not that impressive to have a ton of features if they aren't intuitive. The fact is that Apple takes its time so that when it comes out with something it works really well.
@machoooooooooo you don't even know what the word "intuitive" means. go back to school. apple doesn't even have flash, thats a BIG lack if something is. and to add that, apple disgusts me.
I saw a tablet laptop at a Best Buy back in the late '90s. They've been around nearly a decade before Apple released the iPad. As far as the mobile market is concerned, Apple is successful at Marketing and Design. That is it. Maybe a little vision along the way. Nothing more!
I'm not a Apple fan boy but I'd like to stress that Apple was the first company to have a successful tablet. THERE WERE TABLETS BEFORE, but nobody would be walking around with one. Nowadays I see lots of people walking around with samsung galaxy tabs, ipads, etc
So i'm saying apple reinnovated the tablet market not the tablet.
jheeze you apple haters are ridiculous. you're just jealous because apple are fricking amazing. They have successfully created so many revolutionary devices (ipod iphone ipad NOT FORGETTING THE ALMIGHTY APPLE MAC) and no one has matched their ease of use and quality as of yet. stop hating
Why are people looking for an ipad killer? Tablet computers have been around for years, but no consumer ever gave them a second thought. Apple essentially built a home for them and every one is trying to catch up. if you are wondering if any device will ever stand a chance against the iPad wonder no more. Just wait for the iPad 2.
You people at ADOBE Aggravate ppl like me to no end. Flash player is N O T available to "any" device like you people say it is. As a metter of fact it is primitive at best. Take for example the Sanyo Incognito. Now it plays some of the best content on youtube. I love it. But when it comes to the part where I am prompted to download the Flash player? Sorry Flash player is not available for this platform or device or whatever.
i cant seem to find any information about this devices hardware specs..? i'm interested in this, as it looks cool, and looks like it runs a lower version of windows 7, but it looks quite slow.. when the dude was pressing the buttons it looked like it took half a second to respond
@avanty123piw well it is an atom processor... so im sure it is not the fastest. If you want speed and beauty I think Adam is worth waiting for based on a Nvidia Tethra
Yeah slate looks nice and all, and the windows phone looks very good too, but i prefer the Iphone and Ipad, Apple's products have a very good quality, Personally, I think no other phone compares to the Iphone. Apple is a growing company, still not as powerfull as microsoft but all in its due time, at the rate is going apple will achieve alot, whith all their innovations in the past 5 years, but Its all in people's personal opinions and likes
Apple hasn't innovated a god damn thing. They just take already existing devices. Reduce the capability said device has, thus making the battery life seem like it lasts longer. Then they make it thin, and slap a big faggy white Apple on the back. Nothing amazing.
Were there touchscreen phones before the iPhone? Yep. Tablet computers before the iPad? You bet. Apple fanboys are nothing but iFaggots.
You're just further proof of how retarded crApple users are. Awful grammar and awful spelling. Oh, and FYI, the Apple on the back of all Apple laptops are white, you retard.
The world wide web isn't the world wide web if there is no flash unless of course someone innovates an alternative that everyone would embrace.
Hope they bring the HP slate to the Philippines. Compaq laptops are common here so I'm thinking positively. If they don't then I'll stick with netbooks. The Ipad is alright but I want a small tablet with a full OS especially windows.
They should have Adobe Photoshop for this. It would be really great.
All the apple fanboys are only talking about how great and revolutionary apple is as a company without mentioning any evidence of how the ipad could possibly have more uses than the slate. And I'm an apple fan too, I just thought it was funny. Ipad 2 will be out in 2011 when this thing comes out, but remember this thing is still a prototype.
i was going to get a hp slate. Then they announed it wasnt coming out. So i bought a 64 gb ipad. the pros it runs pretty fast. endless apps iwork. cons the youtube app is the bigges load of Shite no flash no camera relatively high price overall rating 7.5 then theres the price overall rating 5.0 ps i got my ipad for $440 instead of $880au so yeah thats pretty much why i got it
Its funny how long it takes companies to catch up to Apple. Apple leads the way, and everyone else follows. It only took what, three years for an iPhone competitor.
What can Slate do? -Multitasking -Play Games -Portable -Perfect Size -Has Windows 7 What the iPad CANNOT do -cannot Multitask -TOO LARGE! -Just like the iPod Touch -No camera Plus, what do you need the iPad FOR?
Apple makes it first. Then a whole wave of the same thing from different companies start coming out then it doesn't become special anymore and once again apple start a new wave later on. =D
LOL we all know HP slate is better than ipad (coming from an apple fanboy) but it is true that slate is coming in 2011 by than the ipad 2nd generation will come. who knows what that will do? Thumbs up if you agree
what about html5. flash is old but not dead and its time that they made something with less control from adobe. native playback.... not something that needs to be installed in a browser and controlled by adobe. you choose your flavor.
For those who say apple sucks, I bet none of you made a quality product that is even considered in the market, Apple made their own chip, their own battery and one of the most powerful laptops of all time's. They made a revolution in the mobile world and that was the iPhone. Apple started making iPad since many users enjoy the feel of the iPhone system and ease and didn't find it quite comfortable since it's a small screen, bigger is better. They made creations of their own they STOOD OUT thxbi
Hello, can you help me re ebook support. i want to be able to read drm protected ebooks. I can do this on my laptop by d/l ebook reader programs such as Adobe Digital Editions/Kindle for pc/mobipocket reader.
Do you know if i can d/l those programs directly to this tablet. i know i could probably use an sd card to transfer but some programs such as the ADE loads directly to your pc. Any advice or help would be appreciated..thank you
@SuperCalvin16 Who is going to use their computer for 5 hours straight? SERIOUSLY! And plus, most people who will use it for 5 hours will probably be using it on a desk so you can charge it so the battery lasts FOREVER!
iPad has changed the way I view movies and the web in my home. It's great but it should have Flash. It is just a big iPod touch but streaming movies to it is amazing. Nothing is the BEST, it all depends what you use it for and your personal needs.
The iPad is a piece of shit. If it was another company who had made it, it wouldn't have sold any. People are stupid and think that anything that Apple makes is worth it. It's not.
@julianshield1 The specs of the HP slate surpass that of the iPad. The capabilities surpass that of the iPad (Also having all the abilities the iPad has). As far as I can see, the only downside is battery life. I like the iPad, I really do. Elegant design, well built. All in all the iPad is very "pretty" but lacks any real purpose. allot of functionality and features are "missing" as well. Face it, you lose.
@Justin10473 The ipad is great for what it does, but is very limited in it's uses (jobs). They obviously couldn't put everything in it (usb, webcam) and still make it so smooth and sexy. It's basically a very expensive big screen mobile web browser, awkward basic gaming console and an ipod. It's big, light and has exceptional battery life. The big sensitive touch screen is the draw card (for videos, web browsing), nothing else works as well as the ipad for what it does. A laptop does way more..
...but this is the first real touch screen tablet (no other touch screen devices work as well as apples, no lag, speedy, smooth, great apps, incredible quality/workmanship)....you pay a premium to be first....sure it's a big ipod touch, but the bigger screen makes it so much more immersive and fun.And the touching makes it a different experience too. Get one if you need one, but there are netbooks and laptops which give you more functionality for the price.Your paying for a different way to ....
No need to install a bunch of programs/drivers to get going, then updates and troubleshoot problems, no anti-virus, just apps. You just use it, no brainer, that's what people want, just look at apples sales. Something that just works, and is shiny.
@James161997 I can never get one Ipad user to tell me what he or she does to make money using an Ipad which leads me to believe it is for entertainment only. This statement is a simple challenge. I am truly curious to know what can you do professionally with an Ipad?
@mdtrue not to mention how many times do did tehy scam ppl with ipod touch and the phone telling ppl there are not any functions that it actualy does have but they wait a while and then release a new versiona dn offer a upgrade to download to get it...with a pirice!
@James161997 ipad rules for ppl wanting to limit there control and abbilities tand pay for apps to be able to open up some of those limited abilities and not to mention the iphone offers all of it and ten time more then there freaking tablet!! the hell is wrong with ppl
Are you serious this is way better than ipad. It has windows 7, wtf and flash, thats big.. I mean the ipad was expected to have a Apple OS. But no instead Steve Job took an ipod touch, put a big screen on it and hyped it up. But what does that matter as long as it has a Apple logo sign on it, its better than anything, right. Steve Job is probably somewhere right now laughing, and swimming in his bathtub full of millions of dollars off of you morrons. lol
@flash82792 O yeah, windows 7, flash - dreams of all peoples out there... but ipad provides 10 hours of hard use, how much will that shit slate with "win7 and flash" stay on battery? 3 hours? Oh, just WOW. Laggy, with weight of millions megabytes, absolutely not for tablet devices and power sucking, win7 is dream of dreams lol. Oh and with flash, "wow i can watch flash ads for 2 hours on my slate cos it has flash, and 1 hour of shitting ipad on web cos it doesnt!" you hateboys a soo cool.
@tomfrazer1 well, i have the iPad too, and I havent either, but what it means is, any site that uses adobe flash player to make its videos work, the hp slate can play, but the ipad cant. Because Apple and adobe are in some sort of fight or something, but i still think the iPad is better then this slate
With pages and a surfing experience beyond whatever that piece of crap can provide and btw the flash aspect is a load of crap who cares about flash games the iPad has a little something called an app store hello!!!!!!
@tomfrazer1 its more for than just "flash games", a lot of normal web pages are FLASH and if i want to watch flash videos... im screwed on an ipad. I love apple (always have) but not having flash gives the ipad severe limitations in my opinion.
the touch key pad is really crap on the hp slate where as on the ipad it is large and extreamly accurate!!!!!!!!!! and who cares about flash if thats your only sell point goood luck!!!!
this all looks nice and sweet but I still dont see the apps created for this, sure I can see most of the internet but I know it wont be as fast as it looks here, its all gimicks, I want an ipad lookng device, 100gb atleast worth of memory, 5mp camera atleast, lts of games which HP has fail not to deliver at this time, the touchscreen doesnt seem to be swift and amazin as the ipad's mayb work on that HP, until u can bring absolute brilliance to it its a fail
slate PCs have been in development for a long time..it just so happens apple released theirs earlier to milk sheeple into buying and upgrading to the next apple product. it's just a marketing gimmick and the ipad is a great way to throw your money away.
apple gets away with using a very saucy looking gui over what in can do in terms of multi-tasking and performance. that's why apple fans can't resist the next apple product cuz of it's appeal and not what it can actually do.
Looks more clunky than the iPad, thats the only thing that apple can get right which no one else can, its just so smooth. Jesus, you stupid phone developers, add another 50 dollars to your phones price and get a proper touch screen system, rather than a cheap shitty one that you would find on calculators.
I like the idea of the slate, and I think it has tons of advantages over the iPad. however, there's one major problem PC Tablets. Software dev's have historically not gone after the PC Tablet market. it's more like a laptop you touch instead of using a mouse. What software dev's have done in the iPhone/iPad is introduce software that is useful with touch. ergonomic software, if you will. if HP can pull that off, this is a winner. otherwise the iPad (limited it may be) will win.
the cool thing about the slate is that its smaller so it'll be easier to pick up and smash out of anger when it crashes or you realize you've downloaded another virus!
@MugenDB2 it does look like the iPad but get ur facts straight. its actually rather the other way round. 1) hp slate was announced before the iPad. 2) microsoft has something called surface which existed long before Apple's iPhone series. It features multitouch and other features that apple innovatively brought to the cell phone brand. The only reason you most dont kno bout it is cuz its expensive, and intended for corporations and businesses. do some research if you dont believe me.
The truth is that ipad was never meant to be a pc replacement, and hp slate will never be as smooth and sensitive as ipad because it is a pc replacement. think about it! Period!
@Fr6 i agree.... i own an iPhone and I AM VERY HAPPY WITH IT. I m studying computer engineering n i was looking forward to the iPad to make my life easier.. but I have been terribly disappointed. basically, I have a choice of carrying my iPhone and hp laptop OR iPhone + iPad + hp laptop. basic math here.
its lagging. look at how they prevent using multi-touch. the guy only touch the slate with his point finger without using multi-touch. they better fix this crappy lag touchscreen
Fuck this thing looks nice...iPad what??? ... finally a functional usable tablet with a front facing webcam BUT STlLL
dont kno the price, the release date, the battery life, the speed, the responsiveness, the standby time, price Heck i dont even know the weight, dimensions and how large the screen is
@Gamethroughs yeah, i just got the full specs today...still dont know how well it will perform or how responsive it will be... and how well the 1.6ghz atom processor will utilize processes in the cpu
knowing apple, they're just gonna either make an update with flash that you have to pay for or make a whole new Ipad that has flash......I think the latter since they are money hungry lol....
Too bad iPad limited to 64GB lol Windows Tab having more than that which means I can install my Silent Hill games ^_^

@James161997 I can never get one Ipad user to tell me what he or she does to make money using an Ipad which leads me to believe it is for entertainment only. This statement is a simple challenge. I am truly curious to know what can you do professionally with an Ipad?

Are you serious this is way better than ipad. It has windows 7, wtf and flash, thats big.. I mean the ipad was expected to have a Apple OS. But no instead Steve Job took an ipod touch, put a big screen on it and hyped it up. But what does that matter as long as it has a Apple logo sign on it, its better than anything, right. Steve Job is probably somewhere right now laughing, and swimming in his bathtub full of millions of dollars off of you morrons. lol

@flash82792 O yeah, windows 7, flash - dreams of all peoples out there... but ipad provides 10 hours of hard use, how much will that shit slate with "win7 and flash" stay on battery? 3 hours? Oh, just WOW. Laggy, with weight of millions megabytes, absolutely not for tablet devices and power sucking, win7 is dream of dreams lol. Oh and with flash, "wow i can watch flash ads for 2 hours on my slate cos it has flash, and 1 hour of shitting ipad on web cos it doesnt!" you hateboys a soo cool.

@tomfrazer1 well, i have the iPad too, and I havent either, but what it means is, any site that uses adobe flash player to make its videos work, the hp slate can play, but the ipad cant. Because Apple and adobe are in some sort of fight or something, but i still think the iPad is better then this slate

@tomfrazer1 its more for than just "flash games", a lot of normal web pages are FLASH and if i want to watch flash videos... im screwed on an ipad. I love apple (always have) but not having flash gives the ipad severe limitations in my opinion.

slate PCs have been in development for a long time..it just so happens apple released theirs earlier to milk sheeple into buying and upgrading to the next apple product. it's just a marketing gimmick and the ipad is a great way to throw your money away.
apple gets away with using a very saucy looking gui over what in can do in terms of multi-tasking and performance. that's why apple fans can't resist the next apple product cuz of it's appeal and not what it can actually do.

Looks more clunky than the iPad, thats the only thing that apple can get right which no one else can, its just so smooth. Jesus, you stupid phone developers, add another 50 dollars to your phones price and get a proper touch screen system, rather than a cheap shitty one that you would find on calculators.

I like the idea of the slate, and I think it has tons of advantages over the iPad. however, there's one major problem PC Tablets. Software dev's have historically not gone after the PC Tablet market. it's more like a laptop you touch instead of using a mouse. What software dev's have done in the iPhone/iPad is introduce software that is useful with touch. ergonomic software, if you will. if HP can pull that off, this is a winner. otherwise the iPad (limited it may be) will win.

the cool thing about the slate is that its smaller so it'll be easier to pick up and smash out of anger when it crashes or you realize you've downloaded another virus!

If it is so much better why do they have to copy APPLE!!!!! Dose any one make anything original anymore, besides apple!?
Even if you hate apple you have to admit that it looks just like the ipad!
MugenDB2 1 year ago
@MugenDB2 it does look like the iPad but get ur facts straight. its actually rather the other way round. 1) hp slate was announced before the iPad. 2) microsoft has something called surface which existed long before Apple's iPhone series. It features multitouch and other features that apple innovatively brought to the cell phone brand. The only reason you most dont kno bout it is cuz its expensive, and intended for corporations and businesses. do some research if you dont believe me.

@angrymoth2 it may have been announced before the iPad, but the iPad has been in development a few years after the release of the Newton (1998).

The truth is that ipad was never meant to be a pc replacement, and hp slate will never be as smooth and sensitive as ipad because it is a pc replacement. think about it! Period!

Problem with this is that Apple has been getting a lot of other companies to switch to a different, iPad approved video formats.
