A YouTube user who goes by the name "x313xkillax" posted what may end up being the first hands-on look at HP's upcoming Windows 7-based Slate in prototype form.
Naturally there's some chatter that the video could be fake, and we can't say that it isn't. But if it is a ruse, it's a convincing one. The 4-minute video starts off with a tour of the external features, which shows a textured backing, built-in camera, SD card on the side, a keyboard button to bring up the virtual keyboard, volume buttons, USB port, and a few other accoutrement. There's even a CTRL-ALT-DEL key and a home key.
The second half of the video shows the device booting up and browsing the Web, as well as a brief look at the virtual keyboard.
Check it out below and then tell us what you think.

keep in mind not everyone(in fact... prob nobody) have an desktop/laptop access 24/7. this is meant for you to carry around and use as a tablet. ie. on the bus/train, traveling...etc. the device looks neat, but looks like pre-release OS/Driver is hurting it's performance. the controlls seem awkward and unresponsive

It's pretty clear that this is only a business class product for programs that won't run on an iPad but still require a small form factor. As a consumer product this is not going to work. I will wait for HP to release their WebOS pad next year.
