Steve Balmer Introduces HP Slate During Keynote Speech
Jan 07, 2010 - By Chris Weiss
As expected, Steve Balmer used his Wednesday night keynote speech to unveil a tablet device. It wasn’t the Microsoft Courier that we all were hoping for, but the HP slate doesn’t look too shabby in and of itself. Of course, there’s limited information thus far, but we’ve got some press photos, a teaser video and basics to work with.
The Windows 7 multi-touch slate will be available sometime this year. It will serve as a multimedia player, gaming device, e-reader and Web browser. HP should be filling in the dire void of specifications some time in the near future, so hopefully we’ll have more tomorrow.
In the meantime, enjoy the 18-second teaser video below and then let your thoughts drift right back to the Apple Tablet countdown. We’re under three weeks and counting. [via Gizmodo]
