HP announces new Slate 2 tablet

Cant wait for the next fire sale.

So, it is like a netbook...without the keyboard...and half the specs...and twice the price...and it isn't even as good as the last one that failed miserably?

So they obviously think there was nothing wrong with their tablet. It was that WebOS that was the problem, so lets replace it with Windows 7 and it will be all better. Plutonash, i think you are correct.

Last one failed because of WebOS. I can't believe they still haven't learned. People want Android.

That's true, for the same price I can get the Dell Inspiron Duo.

People don't want to pay desktop and laptop prices for a tablet. I wonder how hot this thing is gonna get? I have an Asus netbook with an atom and it gets pretty toasty that it would be uncomfortable to leave in your lap for any period of time. I think Linux or Android would do a lot better over the slow Windows 7. My netbook drags on Windows 7 and it's a dual core with the Nvidia ion 2. I doubt this little tablet is gonna be all that much better, although it does have an SSD which should help. I think HP is making a big mistake coming back, they may have realized how well there Slate sold but it did not sell well until they sold them dirt cheap.
