And will cost just under $600 bucks! It is clear to me in the image below that HP is gunning for the ipad. I believe that the Slate has the advantage since it will be running Windows 7 and not a Cell Phone OS and therefore will offer more diversity in the applications you will be able to use the slate for. Tell me what you think of the HP Slate or ipad.
