Thread: Watch out iPad; Google OS concept tablet

pedantic is the word there.

It was kinda my job to make that sort of stuff right for about 13 years, so that's probably why!



It's also not that hard tbh. At least you don't write in text speak. I refuse to read that shit.

of course it's not hard. typing like this is actually rather deliberate, truth be told

You're a strange lad, that's for sure.

See, I love reading this stuff!
Arguments, heated and passionate from both sides, and no name calling.

It kind of tells me there is hope for the internet yet, and that there are some people still using it who can spell their own name.

My one question is, will the pricing of the ipad push iphone prices down?
I hope so - I'd like one.

doubt it, unscarred.

Also, from Engadet:

We just had a feeling that HP wasn't going to be able to keep quiet about the Slate while the iPad hogged the limelight this weekend, and like clockwork it's released another rendered teaser video of its Windows 7-based tablet. Unfortunately, the clip reveals nothing about pricing or availability (though we have heard rumors of June), but there are some exciting quick demos of the Slate's cam and video conferencing skills. Take that, iPad! We actually happen to be most interested in the brief glimpse you get at the touch UI -- the icon-based interface looks similar to past TouchSmart software and seems to hide Windows 7 quite well, but it's so obviously mocked up we can't get a real sense of how it'll work. It looks like you will be able to hook it up to a HDTV with some sort of dock and expand the storage space through an SD card slot, all of which makes sense given that it's running Windows. Unfortunately, that's really all you get, but see it all for yourself in the 30 second video after the break.

P.S.- Interestingly, the USB cable shown looks like it's from Apple, and it's being plugged into a Slate running iTunes, presumably to demonstrate that it can sync with iPod and iPhones. But now we're obviously just wondering what would happen if you synced an iPad with the Slate -- explosion? Confusion? Confusion explosion? We'll find out soon enough.
