  • Yes but it was optimized for this device so yes it is touch based.

  • 1) it runs a FULL windows7 with usb, NOT a cellphone OS, butHP Slate has worse battery life because of the FULL Windows 7, and it is slow. 2) it can run multiple applications at once, unlike some blown up cellphone pad, but it is slow and iPad will get 4.2 update soo which includes multitasking. 3) it has a built in camera to allow web cam chat, but there will be an iPad 2nd gen with camera.

  • @alcohol32ify 1) Steve Jobs has brainwashed you into a loser who lies about his products so he doesnt have to 2) If all you are going to do is hate, why are you on this page 3) Who would want a thin piece of shit that cost the same as a full size computer, instead of actually buying a full sized computer for thirty dollars less (it only comes in a "3G" 64 gig and 4) The Slate 500 has its own optimized verion of windows, os it not only run touch better, its faster too!

  • the thing is the competition btw mac and pc is unfair because mac is one company

    and pc is a lot of different ones i think HP should buy their pc competitors so they can focus on competing with just mac

  • @blackilluzionz Windows 7 sells one copy every 7 seconds i believe. It has sold 240 million copies ( 100% True ). Apple has only like 12.5% of the market share. Dell has 23.6% and HP has 24.2% market share. Sure Apples only one company but windows seven is a far superior OS. In my opinion of course.

  • @xqSoccer Um.. I know, but Windows 7 isn't touch-based...

  • how come so many dislikes?

    i think this product has far more potential than the ipad...

  • Haha, I like how HP are approving many of the anti-iPad comments. Good ol' fashioned bashing against competitors, HP; can't produce a worthy competitive product so you let your users do the bashing for you. Hehehe.

  • @Eggyrocks1 I like when people just do random comments.

  • @MrBrianTV november i think

  • So Apple has been selling tablets for months now and all HP can come up with is a 15 second video that shows absolutely nothing? A bad and desperate attempt to keep people attention that they're going to make a iPad too and this one has features no one cares about unless you hate the iPad.

  • @dokzero5 you must understand that this is an actual computer while the iPad is an overpriced, oversize toy. The iPad won't even print to hp printers, and the cord to hook it up to a Television cost over 40 dollars too. The slate, however; uses a standard Laptop AV cord. The slate can also support adobe flash and if you ever wanted to you could play halo on it. Apple took a great leap forward when they released the IPad, but Hp is proving it to be a step in the wrong direction.

  • @SixFingerFillet no hp re-created the wheel... just get a netbook! It does the same thing the hp slate... Why create something that already there and sold millions!

  • piece of crap!

  • 1) FLASH

    2) USB

    3) Expandable Memory

    4) Windows OS

    5) Camera (For Full Skype Experience)

    6) It is not an Ipad.

  • @krishnaallam its a netbook which you can get free now at tmobile.. just pay $30 a month for internet!! Duh!!

  • das ipad ist um lichtjahre fortschrittlicher

  • ipad wanna be

  • @jamskate83 : not really though. considering it has some interesting features that the iPad doesn't

  • @Retrospec01 BUT A NETBOOK DOES!! save you money and get a netbook or droid phone!

  • IS THAT AWESOME??

    IS THAT AWESOME?

    Intel Atom -

    Flash -

    HDMI -

    USB -

    So gonna buy it, if it will really cost like 500€

  • now this is what i call a IPAD 

  • Just watch this run on palm os that would shut all of you up ahhaha. now that would be smart for some things but not smart at all for other things. and all of you who say ipad vs this is a joke its way different unless it runs on webos. and although i thought the ipad would kind of fail it did not. and i like apple alot

  • The iPad was not made to be a tablet computer.

  • @MrDaveButcher : Thank you! You've made it understandable for fanboys! Im sick and tired of this bickering between Apple and the rest of the world. Good Job Mr.

  • Ipad = Finger Print Magnet, nothing more.

  • It's been cancelled

  • Too bad they are dumping Windows 7 ... for WebOS.

    --> Well, could be bad or good.

  • it's funny how they tried to do what apple did.

  • lol even inch to zoom is a rip off

  • warset: iphone's OS is NOT a cell phone OS.  In fact, it is OSX, which is posix Unix.

    That said, I agree that he slate kicks the ipad's butt, simply because it isn't crippled by Apple's desire to control how you use their products.

  • Oh hell yes.

  • HP doesn't get it! Taking a full fledged notebook and ripping away the keyboard, does not make a 'touch' device. Every single app on the iPad has been written from the ground up to handle multi-touch, adding touch to a desktop OS, that was designed for a mouse and keyboard, is doomed. And a full OS invites the same problems as all Windows computers; viruses, blue screens of death, all the other Windows headache. Try an iPad, try a Slate, and you'll see what I mean.

  • Iphone 4.0 Hp can't touch this.

  • If this ran Apple's OS X i'd be all over it :)

  • iPad FTW

  • hehe love how everyone is now on hp and archos side after the ipad was released with no real OS and overpriced

  • Good job they were actually smart enough to but a camera and usb port. Not really sure what would be the point in apple not doing so unless they wanted to get more money when they upgraded one comes out.

  • its kinda thick and does not look as sexy as the Ipad. Frankly, I like to look sexy with my fancy gadgets.

  • this is gonna own the ipad the ipad doesn't even have flash.

    and i am a big mac fan

  • does it have webcame built in plz respond

  • I really wouldn't want a touch screen PC :/ I like the basic ones we have now. But I do love my ipod touch :P

  • lame

  • At least HP knows what they're doing and they'll get a tablet pc right. And, did I see multitouch there at the end? I think I did.

  • LOL, no matter how many times u guys try to copy Apple. YOU WILL FAIL!!

  • What counts is its touch screen sensitivity & response and its battery life!

    If it can beat iPad then its a definite winner!

  • Respond to this video...

  • Apple owns the best touch surfaces, you can feel the diference... from other devices, there are many touches computers, pads, smartphones, etc...and an the iPhone

  • Time will tell if it's a WIN or FAIL

  • NOW THIS IS A REAL TABLET. Unlike the iPAd which is just for dicking around

  • @helio2 Real... Yeah, OK. But yet, it seems to be stuck in the vaporware phase. HP may not even put it out at this point.

  • @helio2 got that right a ipad you spend 600 and you dont get usb card reader no flas support only apple software and constantly droping wifi when you can buy a tablet that is cheeper and can do all those things plus more

  • 1) it runs a FULL windows7 with usb, NOT a cellphone OS

    2) it can run multiple applications at once, unlike some blown up cellphone pad

    3) it has a built in camera to allow web cam chat

  • @warset srry but windows on any mobile device is BAD news

  • @reviewthis1 um...no

  • @warset -so why by this... its just like a netbook! my droid still could do more than this!

  • only ipad

  • HP and Archos 9 vs ipad

  • @ultimative92 HP and Archos all the way. They have full editions of Windows.

  • Archos 9 is terrible, but I have my fingers crossed for the EEEtablet.

    I'd rather have a watered down OS than Windows if the interface is going to be as clunky as it is on the Archos 9. It and the Asus T91 both run extremely slow atom processors. Watch some realtime demos, not CGI'd teasers.

    Since HP won't release info on which Atom it's using, I'm assuming it'll be a z520 or something like that.

    They really should just make a separate Windows touch-screen tablet version instead of 7 starter.

  • @ultimative92

    its a shame that Notion Ink Adam Pixel Qi has Android only, in hardware power it would be more than equal to these .

  • @ultimative92

    its a shame that Notion Ink Adam Pixel Qi has Android only, in hardware power it would be more than equal to these .

  • gay

  • its a full pc in a tablet and not a blow up iphone with limited features.

  • go HP slate, GO, may you fly with the wings of angels, in the war against the ghastly iPAD !!

  • @drmkkk and is that a GOOD thing? why should they open a war?

  • nice :) iPad vs Hp :)

  • at least it can play flash. i would totally buy one of these things.

  • Sweet

  • HP bring it!

  • GO HP!

  • word

  • the truth is, if apple plans on selling the ipad at all, they won't market it as a "tablet" pc. they're trying to make something different. it doesn't do alot of things a tablet pc can do but i think that might have been some strange idea apple had... or something. i don't know really what the ipad is truly useful for, but to me, the ipad is an extremely user friendly web surfing device. and that's pretty much it. not a tablet, not an iphone, an ipad. but where's the real apple tablet?

  • better than ipad definetely

  • open platform PLZ be open platform, i wanne linux haxor this and create my own interface =). considered i ships with 7 on it there is a good chance linux should run no problemo, just hope drivers wont be a huge issue

  • Does this thing have flash support?

    P.S iPad killed itself.

  • It DOES. :D

  • its a pc in a touchpad what do u think...

  • @ bati555

    yes because it runs Win7 and it does run flash

  • @bati555 the iPad will finally put flash to pasture. The last browser plug-in...

  • Oh hell Yeah.

  • thought my ps3 started up

  • Great!!! this product was presented in las Vegas CES before iPad!!

    Windows 7!!!!! YEAAA!!!

  • what is the release date ???? please tell me!!!!!

  • Does this have a release date?

  • Vaporware.

  • I've touched and played with the "ipad" trust me it sucks. I have a feeling that the "HP Slate" is going to embarrass Apple when it is released. What the ipad lacks and doesn't do the HP Slate will. Think about Apples old Newton device is more capable and useful and does a lot more then the ipad when imputing information and manipulating data. This ipad thing is very short sighted and arrogant of Steve Jobs

  • yea the slate will kisk the ipad, it has a real operating system... Not phone software so im staying to Hp Slate > iTampon

  • thought it was the PS3 startup sound at first LoL

  • I'm an apple fanboy and I'm going to be honest here..this should be called the ipad killer.

  • this video shows us nothing how can you guys say it's better than the ipad. ridiculous really

  • iPad > HP Slate

  • @Darkenigma28

    Everything > iFail

  • does iPad multi task?

  • IPad has no multitasking

  • FAIL LOL

  • No, and it doesn't even have a real OS.

  • Not one person on here has used both the ipad or hp slate.... ipad killer!?? apple is better!?? the majority of you are jokers!

  • hypocrite

  • @7Slate

    Says the biased fanboy who created an account just to comment on this video! =o

  • I think the subscribers from Appleinsider and all those Apple zombie sites have arranged a "rate a video low if the video bashes on the iPad or is a potential iPad killer" event. This looks great, way better than the iPad, though, I cringe a bit cause it's HP and HP is known to shove bloatware on their computer's and the price is a bit high.

  • And yes... a camera!

    Video and Still. Though I'm not sure if it should be on the front, back, or just stick with USB.

  • Not so fast! It needs the following or it is cheesy niche.

    *ASIO Driver for audio app support.

    *Stylus optional to replace the Cintiq

    *Mobil Broadband for phone and net

    with firmware programming to ANY carrier

    *Strong Battery!

    *Processor and Chipset that games, maybe not AION, but it better not choke on classics!

    *No less than 10" and none of that big bezel BS!

    *Under $800

    Do that and we can nail the fruity coffin shut.

  • ipad killa

  • following the dissappointing iPad annoucement,

    The HP slate with windows 7 would make it 1000x better

  • i agree, iPad killer!

  • i really like apple, but this is clearly better than the ipad

  • ipad killer

  • YES!!!! HP Slate with Winodws 7!!! ipad Killer!!

  • I don't want Apple ipad(tampoon). Let me get HP SLATE>

  • Apple is a proprietary crap.

    Its even more proprietary than Windoze.

    From those two evils Windowze is a better one

  • Microsoft is always behind? Microsoft is a software company and obviously Windows is ahead of OS X.

    This is HP not Apple, and yet this is still better than the iPad.

  • iPad killer :) To be honest, anything can kill Apple's most ridiculous latest product.

  • its not even that i hate apple, its the ipad really just is terrible compared to this

    no flash, so no hulu

    not even 720p resolution

    really really low memory, only 16 GB

  • hpcomputers, keep these coming into youtube.

  • I love how this video has less stars than it should have.

    Shoo, Apple fanboys.

  • Win.

  • AT LEAST,

    This isn't a giant, big ass ZUNE HD,

    Just like the iPad is a giant big ass iPod Touch!!!

    This has a full desktop OS!!!

  • And it's the 27th, hahah a huge iPhone;

    that is definitely some new thinking on Apples part!

    And by the way if Apple owns pinch to zoom, them I'm going to go patent the swipe gesture, troll.

  • Apple fanboys gonna hate

  • UGHHH idk which to get the ipad or this i am personaly a PC but i own an ipod touch and im so used to the controls and such BUT IDK basically i was looking for a laptop when this was announced on tv so which one should i get???

  • Slate you better surprise me because with the iPad you got this too easy to beat them, i love apple but really the iPad sucks! what a shame

  • I look at this, then look at the iPad news... and go:

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­. Oh my God what a bomb, Apple. What a bomb.

  • HP has to be laughing at this iPad announcement. The Slate vs iPad comparisons are going to be brutal.

  • The difference between this and the iPad is that this can actually do stuff.

  • I'm guessing Apple fanboys raided this video to rate it down?

  • @banido obvious isn't it?

  • that looks craptastic.

  • and another thing, if iPhone`s major feature are the apps, how the hell the iSlate could compete with windows in this area?

  • @winxpusr Actually iPhones major feature was being a phone with no physical keyboard. Every other phone before the iPhone failed at accomplishing this task successfully.

  • yeah of course, the copy of something that was not even annouced... gotta love applefanboys...

  • If i ever get abducted by aliens from another plane, i hope their probing feels good, hehehe

  • @CottonInDaCandy apple is a pc

  • I have 2 Mac's. You can have windows on a Mac but an apple is a mac, not a pc.

  • @CottonInDaCandy a P.C. is a Personal Computer, a mac is a personal computer, so a mac is a pc.

  • Just because Apple call them something different to fool people into thinking they are different doesn't change the fact macs are PCs.

    They have a mother board, a processor, RAM, HDD, a graphics card. The display information on a monitor and input is through a mouse and keyboard. The are PCs, computers created for personal use.

  • @danielsan854 They are still a MAC most because in early development, every part of the MAC as manufactured by Apple. The fact that they have began to include Intel processors and nVidia GPU's wasn inevitable, Apple wanted to make a product that would force the consumers to buy everything from Apple but no one was biting. That is why the original MAC has become more and more like the common PC (even though technically, both have always been Personal Computers).

  • garbage pc

  • I'll put my money on apples" slate" it should be better...

  • But I really like my HP printer... HP should stick to making printers.

  • apple, apple, apple, apple, apple

  • Microsft had the idea in 2000ish time,apple stole it off of them

  • Microsoft might've had the idea since 2000, yet how did they utilize this "experimental" technology? Apple not only has the guts to actually take the first step and develop a useful product, their know how to make innovative, user friendly products that people can use. Apple will succeed again in the face of Microsoft.

  • Agree on that one and if Google takes is serious microsoft could have maybe in some years a strong competitor with apple.

  • Im not on either side but, i hate it when people get their facts wrong this slate idea wasn't apples idea first it was actually Microsofts idea way back in 2001 but i guess we didnt have the technology. But i also remember seeing really thick tablets back in 05 or 06 so dont go saying that it was all Apples idea. Also that chiclet keyboards macs use wasnt their original idea either.

  • How cutting edge. THIS WEEK!

    Had to get it out there before the u know what from you know who gets unveiled.

    And where's the two way camera?

    And what kind of nice software did u write for it?

    See HP and MSFT ready to spend $250 million just to make their hardware and software work...that tells me what a headache MSFT users face

    Ok , enuff wasting my time...

    Thx for the laff Packard Bell

  • That was absolutely a complete copy of the Apple Tablet.

    Those Bastards even copied the Apple touch interface by stealing the zoom feature.

  • You guys know there's a much better Tablet Netbook already available for pre-order... I found it here: NetbookNavigator (dot) com

  • well good to see apple & hp is fighting heads on~~ may the best price WIN

  • @joolyn77 pfft. you think apple is going to actually have a decent price? maybe when the world is about to end. Their's will probably be 1000's +

  • Cuidado con HP!!! No son serios, después no cubren la garantía... tengo documentación; hablo con pruebas.

  • Well, that was... short.

  • Yeah, so crappy that it's the most famous smartphone in the world ;). Anyway, you have to know that Apple many years ago bought the multi-touch tecnology :D!

  • @AppLeo1990 If you do your research, multitouch ideas were brought out way back in the 1970's. Apple didn't create it. They simply made it mainstream.

  • Of course, Apple didn't create it, just bought!

  • Revelation, you couldn't type that comment without a PC.

  • he can use MAC ! even i typing by using iphone

  • Alright, i'll give you iPhone and other smart phones, Macs are PCs, computers and personal.

  • @danielsan854 they're not personal computers they're something that integrate you into something much bigger: a hive mind

  • might be a good thing for people who don't want to buy their books?

  • Apple is sooo going to pwn this.

  • aint no body want a 3 foot size ipod XD

  • I would. Its like a computer

  • its like a very large iPhone wannabe.

  • I got a broken HP Laptop model# DV9428nr. Paid $700 and its much older and still works. Laptops are garbage from HP!

  • It's a cool idea but I couldn't see any use for it

  • what a crappy preview vid.

  • 0:09 .... blue screen of death xD

  • Mac vs. PC is like Democrats vs. Republicans.

  • @Theatricool

    Exactly! Who gives a damn which person prefers what computer? But this, Im not too crazy about.

  • Lol why does this only have two stars?? But I'm gonna give it one star too.

  • apple islate better

  • guarantee this is NOTHING compared to apples, no offense HP, but your touch smart computer sucks and i dont trust your copy of the islate

  • lol

  • @JackBossHD dude nobody really cares that your a total apple whore. Yes Apple is good for some things (iPods, MacBooks, etc.) but Microsoft also has it's upsides like P.Cs (mac ain't 2 bad either but it's whatever you grow up on that u get used 2), Xboxs, etc. Also since your giving Steve jobs so much head all the time, why are you even watching this vid? Jesus man it's not like this is a life or death situation anyways. Get a life or GTFO!

  • anyone want to get a lockerz invite just pm me ill invite instantly.Lockerz is a cool site where u could get free prizes like laptops in under a month

  • Isn't Apple making one too? Who had the idea first? I'm guessing the Apple would cost twice as much but will be twice as better (if they do make one).

  • I would have to agree with you on that.

    Even though apples products are ridiculously overpriced, you're paying for pretty good quality stuff.

    Sometimes.

  • lol u jus killed wut u said with "sometimes"

  • ipod- good. everything else apple-fail.
