Still no specs but how about a history lesson?
HP and Microsoft have kept pretty quiet about the HP Slate that Steve Ballmer launched in Vegas earlier this month. Other than it being a Windows 7 device, there was little else to go on. Unfortunately it doesn't look like HP has plans to share more information anytime soon.
But, if you're desperate to see the device again and feel like a five minute history lesson, check out the video below. HP's CTO Phil McKinney tells viewers how the company started out with an ereader-like device five years ago and, over time, gradually built up the device to the "media-rich" tablet it is today.
Check it out and let us know if it sounds like something you'd buy!

The Apple "team" isn't quaking in their boots because they are releasing their own tablet device that will be the best anyway
I want the Apple tablet or any tablet really for school. I think it would be really nice to take notes in my lectures on a 10" tablet device. It is small enough to bring to class easily and put on my desk and during lunch I could catch some news online or watch a movie. I think it would be a great media device/e-reader but not good enough for daily tasks. It's the convenience and intuitiveness I expect. Hopefully it won't cost more than that's worth.
I mean only good enough for daily tasks.
