VIDEO: A Short and Sweet Clip of HP's Slate
HP is keeping quiet on the Slate front but the company did release a short video preview of the product late yesterday.
There's very little information available when it comes to the Slate showed off by Microsoft CEO, Steve Ballmer. Sure there's some press images going around and we know that it will run Windows 7 but aside from that all we know is that it's a thin, attractive touch screen device manufactured by Hewlett Packard.
It seems HP is in the mood to tease. The company has released the following video of the product. It's not even 20 seconds long, so don't get too excited but for now, this is all that's available. What it does tell us is that the Slate will have multitouch. Watch below.
Do you like the look of it or even the idea? Or do you, like me, think it's too early to tell because there's no specifications, price or a hard release date? Let us know in the comments below!

That hasn't stopped the media orgy over the Apple Tablet.
It looks to me like Microsoft and HP have beaten Apple to the punch, releasing a slim tablet that runs Windows 7, allowing people to have a truly portable tablet PC, and not a crippled, closed off piece of junk.
I still can't figure out why the media isn't all over this item hyping it. If it were Apple that just displayed this exact same item, the media would be proclaiming it the creation of god and how it will revolutionize our lives.
I saw that Jane typed "in the mood to tease" and I blacked out for a little bit. Where am I...?
I'm writing CES coverage in a onesie with cats on it. Couldn't be less attractive if I tired.
A VERY nice commercial , but whats in it?

A onesie? Rawr...
Btw my previous comment wasn't at you, Tom's hasn't been a terrible shark in the Apple tablet waters.
Nice wonder how much it will cost?
Am I the only one who doesn't care about all these tablets, and thinks they will crash and burn?

Other than the cutting edge teat suckers, can someone please explain to me why ANYONE would need a tablet PC?
People have iPods for music/movies, Netbooks for music/movies/programs/email, Smartphones for music/movies/programs/talk/navigation/email.
What possible reason could anyone have for owning a Tablet PC, with a touch screen that can get destroyed (which then needs a case/skin rendering it even larger)?
I'm a techy guy, I enjoy cool gadgets, but I must be missing something with this useless waste of resources.
Oooh, sexy tablet!
Too small though. =(
Looks cool. If it comes with a digital pen it would be even more interesting for artistic applications. But otherwise, I would like to see the specs

My thoughts exactly. This would be such a great on-the-go digital art tablet if it came with a decent pen. Otherwise I'm not a huge fan of touchscreen devices (especially ones that fully exclude physical interface).
