Microsoft and HP show off 'slate' PC
« on: January 06, 2010, 11:15:27 PM »

Microsoft and HP have teamed up to introduce a slate computer ahead of Apple's much rumoured device launch.

The firms unveiled the Windows 7 powered touchscreen machine, also known as a tablet, at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.

The aim of the device is to bridge the gap between laptops and smartphones.

Expect stock issues. Just like the PS3 was released a few days before the Wii (announced just after Nintendo announce its release) and experienced VERY limited stock, I expect Microsoft/HP will encounter it too.
