HP Slate 500: Windows 7 PC in Tablet Form Factor

The HP Slate 500 - roughly a netbook PC with solid state storage and tablet form factor - targets business and enterprise, not content consuming individuals.

It addresses the needs of a market segment that Apple with its iPad and Samsung with its Galaxy Tab cannot hope to penetrate.

Business and enterprise customers - retail, healthcare, insurance, education and hospitality - have as much need for mobility as individual, so a Windows 7 powered tablet that can do all that a PC can do makes a lot of sense, especially if it weighs a mere 1.5 lb (0.68 kg).

The Slate 500 features an 8.9-inch capacitive multi-touch 1,024x600 display that lets you navigate on the screen with the touch of a finger, but since Windows 7 is not honed for finger touch, it comes with an included Digital Pen and Evernote software to handwrite e-mail messages and take notes easily.

A front facing VGA webcam facilitates video conferencing, while the 3MP camera on the back can be used for still-image and video capture.

The device is powered by a power efficient 1.86GHz Intel Atom Z540 processor supported by 2GB of RAM and a 64GB SSD hard drive.

The Slate 500 has an SD card slot, both a front-facing VGA camera and a rear-facing 3MP camera, a USB port, and a docking connector.

Other features include a SD card slot, a USB port, and a docking connector.

The dock is included and has an HDMI output, two more USB ports, and a second headphone/mic jack.

The Slate 50, a Wi-Fi only device, will sell for a whopping $800, as compared to the $500 Wi-Fi only iPad.

Verizon Wireless has announced it will sell the 7-inch display Galaxy Tab for $600 and Dell's 5-inch Streak is priced at $550.

The HP Slate 500 Tablet PC will be available first in the U.S. and then evaluated for further market expansion.
