The Slate by HP.

4/7/2010 1:12:59 PM

apparently one of it's features is that it temporarily becomes transparent.

4/7/2010 1:15:44 PM

it costs more, has a smaller screen, a shorter battery life, a lot less apps than an ipad, and doesn't support 802.11n

but in every other way it is better

so, there's that

Oh and this

Well if its a W7 machine apps already exist for it.

Not have N wireless is not that big of a deal.

Screen is only a little smaller and non-significant.

All I care about is which has the higher resolution screens so my bathroom stall work jacks will be more realistic

4/7/2010 1:19:28 PM

I wonder what 1080p porn looks like. I've seen porn in 720p before, but haven't found any 1080p porn

4/7/2010 1:20:34 PM

does the ipad not have a webcam? it seems stupid not to have built one in.

4/7/2010 1:20:46 PM

1080 P is only good if the girl is legitimately hot, not just porn star trashy

Take Tori Black...she is model hot, and looks stunning in 1080 p

Take Flower Tucci...she is not, and would not

4/7/2010 1:29:25 PM

any porn i actually download is of legit model hot women. the trashy shit I just stream online.

4/24/2010 7:06:20 PM

Handheld/portable computers should be application consoles, not running something like Windows

4/24/2010 7:08:25 PM

I guess Comedy Central shows some new shit now son. I haven't seen that channel in years.

4/24/2010 7:09:10 PM

embedding that second vid was a pain... i hate it when a website's own embed code doesn't work

4/24/2010 7:11:49 PM

It has less than half the battery life of the iPad.

LESS THAN HALF.

4/24/2010 7:17:38 PM

Wow - so its like an Ipad, only difference is that it is useful.

What will the hipster cuntfaces think?

" The nickel and diming on accessories is annoying, especially given that you'll probably need at least one of them. Not to mention that you should be prepared to spend at least 10 - 20% extra on apps as soon as you get the device. Apple did a good job with the $499 entry level price point, but the extras and any additional flash memory you might want come at extortionist prices. I don't expect Apple to really do anything about it given there's no competition in this segment right now. It's an issue because the iPad can't currently replace any existing device you own. It lacks the voice features of a smartphone, and it lacks the flexibility/performance/ergonomics of a notebook. This is a 2nd, 3rd or 4th computer, and as such the expenditure is in addition to your existing computer budget."

4/24/2010 7:45:00 PM

Eh, I know people who have already sold their everyday MacBooks because the iPad does everything they need away from home. Granted, they're graphic designers with Mac Pros at home, but still.

4/24/2010 7:47:29 PM

^ I guess they don't do much beyond browsing the web when away from home.

4/24/2010 7:55:01 PM

They are like head rest screens, cool if they are there, but not necessary.

4/24/2010 7:56:06 PM

Unfortunately, HP stopped making quality electronics in the 90's.

hopefully this is a sign that other companies will jump back into the tablet market again with a focus on making them more like a netbook than a full-fledged computer. I have used some Fujitsu tablets in the past for work that were a lot more convenient that a full laptop for working in the field, but the operating system always seemed to be too much for the hardware.

HPS have the highest rating in reliability - what are you talking about?

4/24/2010 8:59:50 PM

HP products are dead last in reliability by a significant margin.

More than 25% of HP notebooks will fail within three years of purchase, compared to 15% of comparable Asus and Toshiba products.

4/24/2010 9:05:43 PM

HP printers are fine. HP computers are not. The iPad may get one-upped at some point, but it ain't gonna be by anything produced in Palo Alto.

4/24/2010 11:10:17 PM

I got the iPad specifically so I wouldn't be printing shit. WHERE'S YOUR GOD NOW

[Edited on April 24, 2010 at 11:11 PM. Reason : ^ drop box, ever note, iWork.com... I could go on.]
