The iPad Killer?

HP has recentely leaked some new teaser videos (like the one above) about their new product, the Slate, they're hoping will give the iPad a run for it's money. The Slate has some key elements that are missing on the iPad, such as a built-in camera, a USB port (a real one, not an adapter), and an SD card slot. Also, there are two cameras: a 3MP lens in back and a front-facing VGA camera for video conferencing. The Slate also has a single USB 2.0 port, an SD card reader, a "conventional" SIM tray for 3G networking, and HDMI-out video capabilities (with 1080p playback) via the Slate's dock connector. Possible unofficial features include an 8.9-inch, 1024-by-600-pixel display, a 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor, and 32 or 64GB of built-in flash storage (expandable via the SD card slot). HP has already made it pretty clear that users will be able to view Flash videos on the Slate. One of the biggest official selling points for the Slate is Windows 7, a full-on, multitasking, desktop-caliber operating system. The iPad, on the other hand, runs on a modified version of the iPhone OS and lacks third-party-app multitasking and is specifically designed for touch. The iPad also runs lightning-fast while Windows 7 is designed for a keyboard and mouse but HP is promising a "touch-optimized UI" to help with fingertip navigation.
