The HP Slate — Windows 7 And Minor Details

Another exciting event that occurred at the opening CES 2010 Microsoft Keynote is the unveiling of the HP Slate. Now mind you, that’s not the real name, but we’ll call it that for now. You might also notice that the Microsoft Courier is not here, and that it won’t be either.

As quoted by Steve Ballmer: “They’re more powerful than a phone and almost as powerful as a PC. Perfect for reading, surfing the web and taking entertainment on the go.” Besides knowing the fact that it runs Windows 7, has a touchscreen, is made by HP, and was demonstrated using the PC Kindle app, as well as a movie mode, ebook mode and PC mode, everything else about the “HP Slate” is pretty much in the dark. According to Ballmer himself the HP Slate will be coming this year, and HP says they will be providing more details after the keynote (which was last night). In the meantime, check out the video and extra press image after the cut.
