Powered by a 1.6 GHz dual-core processor.
Global PC market leader Hewlett-Packard has announced a $169 tablet at this year's Mobile World Congress with the Slate 7.
The tablet is powered by a 1.6 GHz dual-core processor and has a 1024 x 600 pixels 7-inch screen, 8 GB of internal storage, as well as a microSD slot for expansion of up to 32 GB.
Running on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, the Slate 7 offers Beats Audio for improved sound and weighs 13 ounces. A rear 3.15-megapixel camera is included, as is a front-facing VGA snapper. A non-removable battery offers up to five hours of usage.
HP's Slate 7 tablet is currently scheduled for release during April 2013.

Missed the resolution by...that much... as Maxwell Smart would say.
1280x720 have any meaning to your engineers and bean counters ?
No kidding
Well, a couple of things....
1) We tend to sit further away from our monitors and TV's so the lower PPI isn't so noticable
2) We often do have much choice, outside of Apple and their Retina Display'd MacBook Pros (and some are so prejudiced against Apple that they'd not admittedly take a MacBook Pro with a smooth Retina Display even if it was given to them).
The Novo 7 Venus compares to the Nexus 7 tablet but for considerably less - matching key features, including a Quad Core processor, a high resolution multi-touch 1280x800 IPS screen, 16GB memory, a front webcam, Android O/S and Google Play Store preinstalled -- while also offering a number of features the Nexus 7 doesn't - including a 2-megapixel rear camera, a MicroSD memory card slot, and an HDMI 1080p port to download and watch movies directly from a tablet on a large screen TV and also play video games on to a big screen; plus more ways to connect to the internet, including Ethernet as well as 3G/4G Wireless connection with a USB adapter.
Where do you buy a computer/laptop display with 35 or even 60PPI? 1080p on a 24" monitor (most common among mainstream displays) or 720p on a 15" monitor (most common on budget/mid-range laptops) are both roughly 110 PPI.
