the problem with the slate is that there are no touch application for windows
and since it is running on atom you’ll probably have problems with programs running slowly. but you having full os has some advantages
and the ipad has some problems because it’s no full OS but all application are optimized for the touchscreen and there are thousand of apps (even without fart apps)

@gumballtech Ok, take back the fanboy part. Lets see how this turns out. Might not be as bad as I think.

@tusharsingal Hmm…. You’re calling me a HP Fanboy, yet I own a $2,000 MacBook Pro? Yeah, I’m a fanboy alright.
HP is doing HEAVY modifications to make multitouch gestures and scrolling perfect. Windows 7 is already multitouch friendly (unlike Mac OS X).
Windows 7 will run great on a 1.6GHz Atom Z530.
Again, you can’t say anything until you’ve used the thing.

@gumballtech The reason they sold only 450,000 is because people hold a prejudice against them that prevents other people from buying it, without even holding one.

@gumballtech he never claimed to know all its flaws. its just obvious that these tablets are going in the wrong direction. if youre going to try to mimic the iPad (which based on the multitouch outro, the flicking through photos, reading ebooks, etc. is exactly what theyre doing) then you can’t limit yourself before you even get across the start line by using a mouse and keyboard based OS. Plain and simple.

@gumballtech I think you are wrong. The Windows 7 was not made for touch interface and requires a fast processor. Windows 7 on netbooks were not good. Now Windows 7 and another OS side-by-side will be painful. Good luck when you get one, HP Fanboy.

@shazamerica You’re quite the dumb one. You’ve never held or used the thing, yet you happen to know ALL its flaws? You’re a fucking lunatic.

You can’t take a notebook computer, rip off its keyboard and trackpad, and expect a good experience out of it. Windows is a desktop OS, it needs a fast process or a lot of RAM, and it was designed with keyboard and mouse input in mind. The iPad uses a multitouch OS, built from the ground up, and all apps are designed with touch in mind. Are you going to use Word by touch? Good luck. And good luck with viruses, blue screens of death, etc. This is an epic fail by HP. Shareholders beware!

That’s the reason apple is so secretive about their products. The week after PC learns about apple’s new revolutionary device, they create their own cheap copy.

Hhere are the facts: Slate plays Flash (75% of videos on the web are Flash), iPad does not. State has a camera, iPad does not. Slate takes SD cards, iPad does not. Slate has USB, iPad does not. Slate has HDMI out, iPad does not. Slate has 1080 video resolution, iPad has 720. Slate has 1GB of RAM, iPad has only 256MB. Slate is compatible with all your Windows software, iPad is not. Slate is good at playing games, iPad is not good at games.

Reasons why the HP slate will fail.
1. the hp slate will fail because of the marketing of hp is to cheap and thus hardly anybody knows about this device.
2. its released after the iPad, come on no 3G just wi-fi 300000units sold in the US on opening day. Just imagine when 3G+wi-fi is released WORLDWIDE! Even though the specs are better on the hp slate, the iPad was marketed very well and apple’s franchise has established a name, which is user friendly and well known.
eg,ipod.1/2 people have this

@gumballtech
Can’t believe that people actually believe than an Ipad (aka big iphone) can be better than a the HP slate. I mean it has flash that alone rapes the ipad! Addicting games ftw?
