HP have anounced and have released preview videos of their new HP Tablet PC device or HP Slate. The PC like device has been developed by HP with the help of microsoft and is due to be released mid 2010.
There isn’t much information on the specifications of the device at the moment but there are a couple of videos on youtube about the development of the HP Slate. What we do know is that the Slate will run windows 7, has a x86 processor, WIFI capabilities, a multitouch display, webcam, USB ports, and will be able to run all aplications compatible with the Windows OS including the kindle app giving you access to over 400,000 books.
Rumors of the device have been around for ages as HP originally concieved the idea around 5 years ago, but only as a e-reader type device. The slate was not anounced officially until earlier this month, just a couple of weeks before the launch of their future competitor the Apple iPad.
The price of the HP Slate is yet to be announced, but it is rumoured to cost under $800 (£500), which sounds about right as Apples’ product will cost from $499 (aprox. £300) upwards.

[...] The previous post on the HP slate was sort of left hanging as HP didn’t reveal much about the specs or cost of the device, probably because they wanted to see what apple had in store with the iPad first. Well The Wall Street Journal have reported that there are plans to undercut the price of the iPad. [...]
