HP Releases New Video of Their “iPad-Killer” Tablet

By Ryan Fleming Published April 5, 2010

Apple may have taken the early lead in the burgeoning tablet market, but HP is determined not to surrender without a fight. Today this video hit the internet of their new PC tablet, The Slate, and it not surprisingly seems to focus on the things the iPad does not have, most apparently, a camera.

Last month, HP released a video focusing on the inclusion of Flash, something noticeably lacking from both the iPad and iPhone (for the moment). But with 300,000 iPads sold on day one, Apple has already taken a commanding lead.

The Windows 7 compatible tablet computer was announced in January at CES 2010 before the iPad. HP has yet to confirm release date or price, but Spanish technology website, Clipnet.net, is claiming that the device will ship in June.

Perplexity Comet Browser finally learns how to multitask on iPad

Perplexity’s AI browser is now much better suited for the iPad

Perplexity’s Comet browser is starting to make a lot more sense on the iPad. After bringing Comet to iOS users last month, the company is now adding proper iPadOS support, including multiple windows and Split View. The update is available now on the App Store, and it fixes one of the biggest gaps from the browser’s tablet launch.

Is Comet now practical enough for everyday iPad use?

Apple’s foldable iPad could meet the same fate as Microsoft’s doomed Surface Neo

The foldable iPad could stay an experiment, not a product

Apple is exploring a massive foldable iPad, but this could be one of those projects that looks better on a roadmap than in a retail box.

According to a new report from Bloomberg, Apple has been working on a roughly 20-inch foldable iPad, a project that has reportedly been a priority for incoming CEO John Ternus. While it sounds like one of the company's most ambitious hardware bets in years on paper, it may never really hit the store shelves.

Next iPad could ditch traditional naming as Apple rethinks its lineup

Apple could make choosing an iPad less confusing for you

A subtle but potentially significant shift may be coming to the iPad lineup, and it has less to do with hardware and more to do with identity. In a recent interview with John Ternus and Greg Joswiak from Tom’s Guide, the company could rethink how it names future iPads - moving away from the familiar generation-based system.
