A newly leaked specs for HP Slate have been surfaced at Engadget where they compare it to a newly released iPad. The specs show that the HP Slate will have a 1.6GHz Intel Atom Z530 processor and five-plus hours of battery life.
The other details also show that it will carry a $549 price tag for the base 32GB flash memory storage, while a 64GB version will be available for $599. The Slate’s going to have a 8.9-inch 1024×600 capacitive multitouch display, 1GB RAM, Intel UMA graphics with 1080p playback, an SD card slot, SIM card tray for optional WWAN, USB 2.0 port, and an inward-facing VGA webcam/outward-facing 3MP camera.
It’s interesting that despite all those extra goodies, the Slate’s still going to come in at equal weight to the Wi-Fi iPad and a little lighter than the 3G version.

I don’t understand..What’s so cool about Ipad? Why it is better that a notebook?. The notebooks are more much more cheapper and they have a lot of extra things. On the Ipad is just nice. People don’t buy it just because they are a trend, ask yourself if is realy useful and is the right price. But in this period is all about marketing.
