HP Slate 500 Coming Soon?

Leaked HP Slate 500 page (which might disappear at any time): https://h10057.www1.hp.com/ecomcat/hpcatalog/specs/provisioner/05/XB830PA.htm

Recently the HP Slate has been spotted again, this time on the HP website. Many people wrote off the Windows 7 based HP Slate since HP bought Palm, instead expecting a bevy of webOS tablets. However it appears that the HP Slate is likely going to be released after all with a slight name change: the HP Slate 500.

The specs stay largely the same with Windows 7 Home Premium with a custom HP interface, both a rear facing still camera along with a front facing webcam, a 1.6 GHz Intel Atom processor and an 8.9 inch touchscreen with support for a stylus.

you know how palm always names their things with double ps "palm pilot, palm pixi, palm pre etc." well, i bet if they make a webOS tablet, a long with the windows tablet, they will put it under the palm brand. if they do that, they should call it the "Palm Plate"

[duncan33303]

@darkdylaner Actually now that you mention it HP trademarked 'PalmPad' just yesterday so who know?

@sgtshatta the HP Slate is mainly built for businesses, where the iPad was built for everyday consumers to use. also apple spent a lot more time and money advertising the iPad, when HP hasn't really done much advertising. there's really no good comparison you can make between the two items, they're built for different things. so please leave your cussing and accusatory comments elsewhere

less parts, more control

unless you really enjoy fucking around with touchpad (which conviently often breaks) or stupid fucking external mice

When the screen is small, touch screen has better control then joinsticks, buttons
