Video and Information on HP’s Tablet Surface
By Chris Weiss
The Apple tablet may be making its grand emergence tomorrow, but at least one company is reminding the world that Apple isn’t the only game in town. Today, the world got a closer look at the HP slate thanks to some video in which CTO Phil McKinney reveals a bit about the manufacturing process behind it.
While the video falls short of providing specs on the slate that was first seen in the hands of Steve Ballmer at CES, it does give a little background. Originally envisioned as an e-reader five years ago, the tablet evolved into a full-fledged multimedia device capable of video, music and Web. The Windows 7-based slate will hit market later this year at a “mainstream price point”.
Other than that, the video is a rather vague, repetitive snoozer. If you’re interested in the HP slate or looking to be lulled to sleep at your desk, take a look at the video below. [via ZDNet]
