More details may have leaked out regarding the upcoming HP Slate. Spanish site Clipset appears to have gotten pricing information from HP itself pointing to a €400 price. That converts to $546, but direct conversions rarely hold up. In fact, it is possible the HP Slate may come in under the price of the entry level iPad.
The HP Slate is expected to be and Atom-based device running Windows 7. As such, there will be Flash support, a memory card reader, a web cam, and USB connectivity. It is basically has all the things people wanted the iPad to have; we’ll have to see how successful that combination really is. The official launch should happen sometime in June, with retail availability by late summer in Europe. Hopefully that means an earlier launch in the US.

I think the iPad doesn't have USB ports, a stronger OS, and a memory card reader is because of security holes. You can easily develop malware, slap it onto a flash drive or memory card, and that would endanger Apple's great history of quality. A more familiar OS might have been useful, but Apple wants to have ITS firmware running on ITS device of choice. Jobs claims his ditch of Flash support was because it would eat too many CPU cycles, but I've seen phones of yester-year streaming YouTube in the browser. The camera leaves me dumbfounded... why not?

hurray !!
any new gadget that will run on windows7 or winXP that we've already accustomed to = 2 thumbs up ! It surely won't run Crysis or FarCry2 but will run your usual Window's programs / freewares such as Zoomplayer, avidemux, xmbc, openoffice, antivir (antivirus freeware), msn messanger, some games and dosbox, webcam flash games, etc etc.
This will surely become a great Ipad killer !
