This didn’t take too long, less than a day after Apple debut it’s new iPad commercial during the Oscars, HP has come forward with two videos. The first video is one detailing the awesomeness of Flash on the HP Slate, the second is another commercial for the device. We won’t spoil it for you so check out both videos below.
So there’s been rumors about an Apple Slate for years, but while we wait for that mythical January 27th date to roll around, feast your eyes on the HP Slate. Yes it’s the year of slate PC’s and HP seems to have hit something here.
The device is multitouch, it supports gaming, and so far we know it runs some flavor of Windows 7. That’s all we know so far thanks to Microsoft’s press conference, but you can be sure we’ll be digging for more info at Microsoft’s and HP’s booth. No it won’t take the place of that mythical “Courier” device we laid our eyes on a few months ago and it sure won’t quench the Apple tablet rumors, but at least this looks sexy enough to buy.
More info coming as we find out more. BTW check out the promo video below.

HP TouchSmart tm2
HP made ripples with the tx2 but even though it was the first consumer multitouch convertable tablet PC, it still had some lacking. However HP has spruced things up a bit with the tm2 which packs a 12.1-inch screen and is powered by a Core 2 Duo processor as well as ATI Mobility Radeon graphics and a claim of 9 hours of battery life from its standard 6-cell battery.
The touchscreen is capacitive making it pen and finger friendly. You might notice that HP called on design cues from it’s Envy line including the touchpad which is a single button as well as a full aluminum build. The tm2 is lighter and stronger and will ship January 17th for mere $949 (starting price).
Thanks to touch friendly Corel Painter, BumpTop 3D as well as a dolphin screen saver as well as Netflix inclusive TouchSmart software, HP is really bring things up to par in the touch arena. Check out the videos below courtesy of Engadget.

Haleron iLet 10
As the tablet scene heats up, there is no shortage of offerings and by the time CES rolls around tomorrow, they’ll be dozen more offerings. However Haleron’s iLet 10-inch tablet is something that strikes us as being quite interesting especially if you’re into something on the cheap side in a bigger form factor.
Powered by an 1.6GHz Atom N450 processor, the Heleron iLet comes with 160GB of HDD as well as a 1024 x 600 resolution multitouch screen. Wireless options include 802.11a/b/g wireless, 3G (quad-band GSM) and GPS. A nice carrying case is included and the system starts at $419. However it moves up from there and should be shipping sometime this week.
