Microsoft and HP Unveil Their New Slate PC

The teaming up of HP and Microsoft to produce the slate like PC that is going to add a completely new meaning to touch screen computing has fulfilled its purpose. This move of Microsoft and HP is seen as a move to stay ahead of Apple’s version of the same technology that is supposedly to be unveiled later on. This slate PC or Tablet PC is a combination of both the smart phone and the Laptops.  The product that HP and Microsoft ha created runs on the Windows latest operating system, Windows 7. A Wall street Journal mentions that Apple is not very far behind with its very own tablet PC.

Both the devices, the tablet PC’s, from HP and Apple will be in the market for the regular consumers by March 2010. However, HP might make a move of making some slight modifications in its design and put it up for sale later this year. Although Microsoft and HP believes that this is a revolutionary step towards future technology many believe that the software that this touch screen pad has should have been something better then the normal windows software that consumers use in their regular PCs and Laptops. The idea of a new generation technique is to combine new forms of hardware as well as software to interest the user. This is not the case with this tablet PC.

However, where there are critics, there are fans as well. Some believe that having Windows 7 on a touch screen tablet PC is worth it and reading e-books and using other such software and features of the operating system is going to be a new and wonderful experience. The market is not so aware about this particular product for only one particular reason, the excitement and publicity limelight being showered completely upon the Apple’s speculative product, the iSlate.
