- HP Slate 500 Overview: Almost a year ago at CES, HP showed the Slate 500 as a consumer-oriented device. Now it's available for purchase from HP's business-oriented stores. It's a business machine for professionals not tied to desks.
- Hardware Specifications: Priced at $799, it's a small (1.5 lb) machine with a 1.86GHz Atom processor and 2GB RAM. It has a capacitive multitouch 1024×600 screen with a digitizer for pen and finger input, twin cameras (front and rear), and up to 64GB of flash storage. Comes with Windows 7 and basic note-taking and camera applications.
- Market Positioning: Intended for corporations to run custom Windows applications like in healthcare, point-of-sale, and banking. Marketing video emphasizes this. Hardware is similar to CES version (possibly with improved specification), but market positioning is different.
- Comparison with iPad: Smaller market than iPad, where Fujitsu is a big player. Slate 500 is smaller, cheaper, and lighter than competitors and may be compelling. But it's not the consumer-friendly machine shown this year. Windows slates are coming, but the HP Slate 500 shows they're not a threat to Apple.
