What is wrong with Apple fans. Truly you guys are easily impressed by app numbers!
THIS IS WINDOWS OPERATING SYSTEM ON A PORTABLE SCREEN. HOW can you not find this exiciting.

@shadowcontroll lol the ipad is a ripoff of products that came out 7 years ago, and btw if you can take jobs' tiny penis out of your mouth long enough to read stat sheets, you'll notice that the same tablets that came out 7 years ago had more power and adaptivity that the shitty ipad does.
@Joker1ruler Why do people get excited about multitouch and how is this useful to you. All I keep seeing is videos of people pinching photos, and I am like wow. Do you guys not think that will get old (two fingers to zoom in on a pic) Advertising makes the masses crazy.
Heres my pitch: " The new windows Islate features new! Exiting! Single finger tap zoom. You can actually do it with one finger! Amazing you say? check out the way I slide scroll. Wow! This feature can be yours for $19.95
people like multitouch. and its waaaaaaaaayyy more than just photos... Ever played tap tap revenge on the iphone? well to tap two balls at the same time, we need multitouch. also, the screen is then glass and can be more responsive other than the plastic ones.
@mdtrue or, lets say you are drawing on your tablet and your palm brushes the screen, it now draws somwhere between your hand and your stylus, with multi touch, it can be programmed to ignore other touches while drawing. that ideology alone can be applied to almost any function a tablet pc would have, making a it a deeper, more intuitive product
I guess HP as made BIG mistake droping microsoft...now that windows phone 7 silverlight based platform proved to be the next big thing in starting in 2010!
If windows phone 7 looks great in a 4 inch display imagined in a slate.
Xna and Silverlight along with a tegra chip and a oled screen imagine the possibilities, the software the groundbreaking experience...
never buy hp laptop or desktop, all of their computers have defect. Hp wont recognize the defect as their problem because the damage comes after the warranty expires . HP laptops and computers just turnoff and never turns on again after the warranty, approximately 1.5years.
@KnifeNSnipeN he is right it has been around, and who gives a fuck all apple does is make computers and charge more than it takes to make three of them computers
@jimmey303 hey I don't know that much about multi touch so just give me a break, I've got nothing agaisnt windows users and mac users and I have a pc at home. no need to get all pissy over a piece of hardware =.=
@gumballtech just really the simple fact that it is so much for a computer that is not the best, yes there is alot of stuff that mac offers but when i can an alienware with all the same stuff as a mac (not operating system talking about memory and ram etc.) + a extra monitor, a keyboard and 3 games, a controler, a bag. and still save 400 bucks i belive anyone who would pay that much for just a mac is stupid
@MikeGustaw I can't. I don't think that Macs are better than PCs (or vise-versa). They both have the positives and negatives. Nothing will be better/greater than the other.
Dur Macs are the orignal there the best of all the (bunny ears✌) windows company known as Microsoft are just 100% copy and there less popular then apple now! Ha Ha!
@gytis156 you're right in the comparison of computers but you are wrong while comparing midlets or little electronics apple wins, i am a windows user and i really like windows and linux because macosx is not an OS...
@KnifeNSnipeN touch computers originally made by HP using windows 7 have been able to to that since there creation it is called mutli touch. touch PCs have been around allot longer then the ipad so technically apple copied microsoft.
the most stupid way to loose money for hp is to discontinue the production and the development of this tablet pc, c'mon hp you almost did it! now I'm starting to think about importing a real tablet pc from europe or china....
@coolnitin2110 haha, apples gonna be laughing all the way to the bank at you. You just watch, they know what there doing. Thats why they still lead the mp3 market. And thats why they managed to take over the smartphone market. They got out of the way in the computer market but its growing. Apple made the iPhone now the big thing is the multi-touch smartphone. Apple made the iPad now the big thing is the tablet market. Lets face it, apple owns the technology market, weather YOU like them or not
Big deal! You can't draw on it! I don't just want to watch movies. I can do that on my touch. Only cool thing is the camera and memory.. Big deal. I'll wait. Hopefully hp will consider these things.
windows 7 is great. I use and has been flawless. Support for multitouch is not new. HP had this slate designed two years ago but needed to get it at a price point that it now is in to make it the volume in the market segment pay for all the features. Look it isnt worth arguing with apple people because they will argue that the adapter is better with a proprietary composite cable vs a hdmi. That no camera is better than two. That no sd card is better than having sd card. etc etc
windows is fucking 7 times better then a fucking mac coz a mac isnt customizable u cant edit videos and every fucking times it brakes u gotta buy a new one -___-'
@jonathan1234565 do you even know what you're talking about!? A Mac is quality, it malfunctions and you can get it fixed immediately. You can customize Mac OS X and you can edit videos. Think before you speak!?
This ad just makes the slate look gay but if you look at any of the other videos about the slate it actually looks really cool. Like way better then the ipad( even though windows 7 doesn't exactly have touch technology I still think it will be awesome.).
the problem with the slate is that there are no touch application for windows
and since it is running on atom you'll probably have problems with programs running slowly. but you having full os has some advantages
and the ipad has some problems because it's no full OS but all application are optimized for the touchscreen and there are thousand of apps (even without fart apps)
here is what the problem is gonna be. windows 7 was made for normal usage. not touch. like the ipad. yes windows 7 has some touch features its still windows 7.
You can't take a notebook computer, rip off its keyboard and trackpad, and expect a good experience out of it. Windows is a desktop OS, it needs a fast process or a lot of RAM, and it was designed with keyboard and mouse input in mind. The iPad uses a multitouch OS, built from the ground up, and all apps are designed with touch in mind. Are you going to use Word by touch? Good luck. And good luck with viruses, blue screens of death, etc. This is an epic fail by HP. Shareholders beware!
@gumballtech I think you are wrong. The Windows 7 was not made for touch interface and requires a fast processor. Windows 7 on netbooks were not good. Now Windows 7 and another OS side-by-side will be painful. Good luck when you get one, HP Fanboy.
@gumballtech dude.... MacBooks started the multitouch. the iPhone / iPod toch came after. In fact, the MacBooks are the only laptop computers that have multitouch that I am aware of.
@AustiSo omg wow multi touch has existed since the 90's with pocket pcs its just apple revolutionized it with the iphone and shit... apple didn't make multi touch
@tusharsingal Windows 7 takes advantage of a lot touch functions. Tell me: Does Mac OS offer multitouch support (providing that there was an adequade display for macbooks...)? Does Mac OS offer handwriting recognition (which actually works fine after a while!)? No problem at all with Windows 7. But yea I know... Windwows 7 is not perfect. Far from it...
Let me remind you that windows is very powerful and flexible. With that in mind now i can let you know about its user interface optimization options which you probably have never used before. These little options allow you to customize the close buttons, the confirm, and window borders and make them a little bigger for your fingers, as well as option points and headers pieces. Thats why some of us still love windows, for flexibility, power, and functionality...
@tusharsingal I am not so shore I use windows 7 and I keep noticing stuff that would work epically in a touch based computer like the OSK witch it has built in as standard(doesn't seem that useful when you have a keyboard) or that you can pull up a menu for the thing s on the start bar bay pressing on them and dragging up(all so not that useful when right clicking is so much easer)
That's the reason apple is so secretive about their products. The week after PC learns about apple's new revolutionary device, they create their own cheap copy.
1. the hp slate will fail because of the marketing of hp is to cheap and thus hardly anybody knows about this device.
2. its released after the iPad, come on no 3G just wi-fi 300000units sold in the US on opening day. Just imagine when 3G+wi-fi is released WORLDWIDE! Even though the specs are better on the hp slate, the iPad was marketed very well and apple's franchise has established a name, which is user friendly and well known.
I have been trying to get more information on the HP Slate. I would love to buy one but i guess ill wait to see it when it finally comes out. Ive been looking at the JOOJOO also.
@damionlldn And also, nobody copies ideas from apple, tablet PCs have been out for years, just now they are being advertised and the concept is finally being used to create something like this. Seriously, you don't know what you're talking about.
@damionlldn What are you talking about the iPhone for, the debate is about tablet PCs. Ok, just because your an apple fanboy doesn't mean apple is better. The HP Slate runs on windows 7 which means much more variety for applications. Look at this crisp quality for it, it looks amazing. The iPad's design is disgusting and the OS just looks like another iPod touch. It's really not that great considering sales aswell, it has been out for 5 days and all it has is 450000
@gumballtech The reason they sold only 450,000 is because people hold a prejudice against them that prevents other people from buying it, without even holding one.
@damionlldn Your argument is quite false. Give better points next time douchebag.
Oh, and sorry. There weren't millions of people in line for the iPad on Saturday. 300,000. Get it right when you're saying something stupid.
Yes, the iPad is nice, everyone can agree to this, but the HP Slate has a more complete operating system, which can do more. Oh, it's faster, cheaper, and more feature-filled.
@damionlldn not so much anymore... windows is catching up, and as far as security goes, apple simply has such a small amount of computers out there compared to windows. No hacker wants to create a virus that only affects a very small amount of people. I love my mac, but the ipad is a piece of shit compared this new HP slate
stop arguing!! waste of life!! People like different things..like i prefer the hp slate over the ipad because i cannot afford the ipad..and it doesnt sound right...iPAD? comon...and besides everyone and there mother has the ipad...i have always loved HP and will never stop loving..they have given me no problems. I do like apple but not the ipad. sorry.
@gumballtech ummmmmm yea windows 7 is unstable un touch if u wist just ask me and i will unleash hell on ur brain with the over lode of data on how crappy windows 7 is on touch and i use both pc and mac so gtfo trolls and haters
fuck the i pad. The I PAD is for arrogant rich fucks who want to seem like hot shots. The HP Slate is for bsiness people who actually need it for their job.
So what is this called? HP Tablet or? Well, i have to say that this is better than the Ipad. Reasons are, this has a webcam and USB port from what i can see. Ipad has neither i think.
bout time a company actually came out with something serious. I did not and will not be buying ipad for the very reason that i new that hp would develop and sell something that is twice the product. Im not saying it will be better, but buy the sounds of it, o wait... thats exactly what im sayin lol, HP ftw, i go for power not popularity

Windows vs. PC yay lol grow up HP didn't copy anyone the idea has been there for a long time they both just took into it and made it better Apple fans will use the Ipad and pc fans will use the Slate omg this means the balance of the world has been destroyed. Keep in mind that HP only did what they are good at and thats keeping PC users happy.
@hippoyo Umm... Incorrect. They copied nothing. If you're mad at people for copying, then you're in the wrong place. There have been several other tablet-like devices like this (and the iPad).
@hippoyo There have been loads of tablet pcs before the iPad that have been a lot better take modbooks which are macbooks converted into tablets they work really well and have been around a lot longer than the iPad which isn't really a tablet pc more like a giant iPod touch as it can't do what a pc can do
Can't believe that people actually believe than an Ipad (aka big iphone) can be better than a the HP slate. I mean it has flash that alone rapes the ipad! Addicting games ftw?
@Lengi123 The Ipad does not have a USB port, or an HDMI port, and it cannot play flash video. And its has a crappier operating system, and a crappier video card, and a crappier processor.
You must live under a bridge and don't have a home to go to to want your portable to play annoying flash, I would go home and use my desktop if I absolutely have to choke on a flash. Twitter, gmail and maps, new york times, bbc, flickr, facebook, all viewable without a flash, and you don't think there will be various applications out for ipad like iphone? Pay less money, buy your economic HP, seriously.
@Yahwehsninja not anytime soon and with adobe's flash market penetration they wont go quietly proof of that is phonearena's head to head battle of html5 vs 10.1b3 on the nexus one where flash proved its still king of the hill
Ok. If it has windows and documents like MS Office then its usefull! That Ipad thing doesnt have document, ms office , adobe, etc, so wats the use? What where they thinking? If one of these does what a laptop does in terms of software then excellent!
WOW Amazing video HP. Watching it makes me want to...stop watching it.

@tusharsingal Windows 7 takes advantage of a lot touch functions. Tell me: Does Mac OS offer multitouch support (providing that there was an adequade display for macbooks...)? Does Mac OS offer handwriting recognition (which actually works fine after a while!)? No problem at all with Windows 7. But yea I know... Windwows 7 is not perfect. Far from it...

Let me remind you that windows is very powerful and flexible. With that in mind now i can let you know about its user interface optimization options which you probably have never used before. These little options allow you to customize the close buttons, the confirm, and window borders and make them a little bigger for your fingers, as well as option points and headers pieces. Thats why some of us still love windows, for flexibility, power, and functionality...

@tusharsingal I am not so shore I use windows 7 and I keep noticing stuff that would work epically in a touch based computer like the OSK witch it has built in as standard(doesn't seem that useful when you have a keyboard) or that you can pull up a menu for the thing s on the start bar bay pressing on them and dragging up(all so not that useful when right clicking is so much easer)

That's the reason apple is so secretive about their products. The week after PC learns about apple's new revolutionary device, they create their own cheap copy.

Reasons why the HP slate will fail.
1. the hp slate will fail because of the marketing of hp is to cheap and thus hardly anybody knows about this device.
2. its released after the iPad, come on no 3G just wi-fi 300000units sold in the US on opening day. Just imagine when 3G+wi-fi is released WORLDWIDE! Even though the specs are better on the hp slate, the iPad was marketed very well and apple's franchise has established a name, which is user friendly and well known.
eg,ipod.1/2 people have this

@damionlldn And also, nobody copies ideas from apple, tablet PCs have been out for years, just now they are being advertised and the concept is finally being used to create something like this. Seriously, you don't know what you're talking about.
lebstaz 1 year ago
@damionlldn What are you talking about the iPhone for, the debate is about tablet PCs. Ok, just because your an apple fanboy doesn't mean apple is better. The HP Slate runs on windows 7 which means much more variety for applications. Look at this crisp quality for it, it looks amazing. The iPad's design is disgusting and the OS just looks like another iPod touch. It's really not that great considering sales aswell, it has been out for 5 days and all it has is 450000
lebstaz 1 year ago
@damionlldn To this very day, they sold just 450,000. That's not even half a million. Again, get your facts straight.
Well, if the Nexus One had better advertising and more apps, then it would be a killer phone. The advertising is horrible.
gumballtech 1 year ago
@gumballtech The reason they sold only 450,000 is because people hold a prejudice against them that prevents other people from buying it, without even holding one.
tusharsingal 1 year ago
@damionlldn Your argument is quite false. Give better points next time douchebag.
Oh, and sorry. There weren't millions of people in line for the iPad on Saturday. 300,000. Get it right when you're saying something stupid.
Yes, the iPad is nice, everyone can agree to this, but the HP Slate has a more complete operating system, which can do more. Oh, it's faster, cheaper, and more feature-filled.

@damionlldn not so much anymore... windows is catching up, and as far as security goes, apple simply has such a small amount of computers out there compared to windows. No hacker wants to create a virus that only affects a very small amount of people. I love my mac, but the ipad is a piece of shit compared this new HP slate

@Lengi123 The Ipad does not have a USB port, or an HDMI port, and it cannot play flash video. And its has a crappier operating system, and a crappier video card, and a crappier processor.

@Lengi123 the ipad does NOTHING useful than what can be accomplished by an iphone or ipod touch.

You must live under a bridge and don't have a home to go to to want your portable to play annoying flash, I would go home and use my desktop if I absolutely have to choke on a flash. Twitter, gmail and maps, new york times, bbc, flickr, facebook, all viewable without a flash, and you don't think there will be various applications out for ipad like iphone? Pay less money, buy your economic HP, seriously.
