There’s now a growing speculation after the new official video about the new HP slate device. So, we now can speculate, discuss and talk about the things we like and we don’t like about the device. For the techies, heres a short list of ways to justify whether to take up or avoid the HP slate, perhaps instead of an iPad.
1) In the latest video, brief glimpses of the HP slate’s user interface show big app icons and a sidebar for contextual menus. That’s a good prerequisite for any tablet that wants to redefine personal computing. Not that there’s anything wrong with straight-up Windows 7, but it’s best enjoyed with a mouse and keyboard.
2) The five hours of battery life for HP’s slate is a major letdown. One cannot leave a device out all day when its battery won’t last past lunch. For a device that thrives on being at arm’s reach all the time, that’s a big problem.
3) Apple’s basic, $500 iPad is at a lower price than HP’s slate, but only for a 16 GB model that HP does not offer. The balance is in HP’s favor for 32 GB ($550) and 64 GB ($600) versions, compared with $600 and $700 for 32 GB and 64 GB iPads, respectively. Then there’s the ability to add more storage via SD card, a big disadvantage on the iPad.
4) Its a nice feature to have a front-facing camera, which is probably most laptops include one these days. Tablets, which make great coffee table mates, are especially conducive to video chats. The iPad doesn’t have one.
5) Adobe’s Flash on HP’s slate is subject to change as Apple looks to encourage HTML 5 as the preferred web video platform. This point we can’t tell whether it goes with iPad, untill the HP Slate is in the real world.
So, unless and untill the HP Slate comes in the real market, the developers who are into iPad app development can’t compare and make intelligent apps so to reduce the physical disadvantages of iPad.
