Yeah, pleased I didn't hold my breath for this one. Really doesn't surprise me
"We have this great new product. It's only concept images and we haven't actually made anything.... but it's awesome!"
EDIT:
Quote: "Last night TechCrunch reported that, according to an unnamed "source briefed on the matter," HP had stopped development of the Slate in its tracks, killing off the project entirely. Why? Well, according to the source, HP isn't thrilled with Windows 7's performance on the tablet. The Slate -- which was officially unveiled in January by Steve Ballmer himself -- had a rumored price of $549, and was supposedly launching in June. So, what should we make of all this? Well, there's probably some major chaos over at HP with the news of the Palm acquisition, so we wouldn't be surprised to hear some shaky -- or even incorrect -- information coming out of the company right now. On the other hand, HP killing off the project doesn't sound completely out of the realm of possibility to us"
So after all the rubbish HP+MS said about the iPad (and trying to steal its limelight by launching ahead of it) they have both failed to ship anything to compete with or even compare with it
I mean, the iPad is far from perfect (lacking pen input, for example, destroys its appeal for many people in my opinion) but it exists. It is shipping. Apple gets the last laugh
