I guess if you aren’t happy being alone with an iPad you can opt for a WePad. Being developed by German company Neofonie, this is another Tablet/Slate that aims to be what the iPad isn’t. It has an 11.6 inch touchscreen with a resolution of 1366 x 768. It’s powered by an Intel Atom N450 [...]
Warner Crocker is going to be our iPad guinea pig here at GottaBeMobile and Kevin Purcell is going to be taking up the role over at Notebooks.com. I’d like an Apple iPad to play with, but am holding off because I don’t need one and can’t figure out when I’d actually use an iPad instead [...]
I’ve been searching and searching for proof that someone pre-ordered a JooJoo Tablet. Thanks to Gizmodo it turns out at least three people have. Unfortunately (for FusionGarage) the proof comes in the form of a complaints in trying to solve refund requests for customers who have changed their mind.
If you recall, to pre-order a JooJoo [...]
Samsung was one of the companies that went whole hog into the original UMPC scene and actually gave it a valiant effort. They’ve also come up with some of the most solid Netbooks since that scene exploded. Now it looks like Samsung is going to jump on the Tablet/Slate bandwagon.
According to a report at APC, [...]
The hype surrounding iPad pre-order day is over. That will eventually make way for the hype that will come as we head to the April 3 delivery date. Already we’re seeing some new information (some of which has been released by Apple) on the iPad’s features and capability. But in addition to that we’re starting [...]
It is the supposed Year of the Tablet and an era where Apple has put all eyes on Slates. No matter. Amidst the release of updates to its ThinkPad line including the X201T Tablet PC, Lenovo is saying that its customer research is telling it that they don’t want slates. CNet is reporting the following [...]
On the forum, Steve S shares with us word (from digitaldoctors at TabletPCBuzz) that Electrovaya has listed a new Scribbler Tablet PC, the first upgrade in nearly two years. The Electrovaya Scribbler SC4100 sports the same slate form factor as the past couple iterations, but not only updates the processor (Intel Core 2 Duo L7400 [...]
Devin Coldewey has penned a two part series on what he thinks would make a better Tablet OS. His first part was written before the iPad was revealed and part two looks at his recommendations post iPad announcement. The entire epistle would have been better titled towards a better touch OS than Tablet. Coldeway has [...]
And it’s a Windows 7 netbook in slate form. Having trouble pulling up the site (must be getting slammed), but a company in the UK called X2 is running with the “i” prefix and slapping it on a tablet with 1.6GHz Intel processor (presumably Atom) and option of 10.2″ or 12.1″ screen. About an inch [...]
So all this noise about the Apple Tablet and what it will or will not do got me thinking about tablet design, specifically slate design other than a basic flat screen. I’ve been using slates or convertibles in slate mode for years (longer than there have been Apple tablet rumors, apparently), so believe me when [...]
According to TechCrunch, the HP Slate that Steve Ballmer held up during the CES2010 keynote isn’t the only HP Slate in the stable. Apparently there is one very similar to it, only running Google’s Android OS instead of Windows 7. As Erick Schonfeld of TechCrunch notes that could be very interesting indeed for those who [...]
Below are some press pictures of the Dell Slate concept Sumocat was talking about. Some say it may be called the Streak.
I don’t think this has been revealed on stage at CES2010 yet based on the live blog of the Ballmer Keynote, but this is supposedly a video of the HP Slate that will be unveiled.
Here’s a picture. Obviously a rendering. Link here. With more from Engadget after the jump.
Mike Arrington appeared on the Gilmore Gang and gave a quick update on the CrunchPad. Arrington says his costs are in the high $200 range and will sell for $300 to $400.
“The CrunchPad is steam-rolling along,” Arrington said. “Costs keep coming down. We’ve been working entirely on the software for the past month, trying [...]
I’m a slate guy. Since 2001 I’ve had a tablet with me. For meetings, development, writing, and keeping in touch while on travel, it’s my primary mobile, travel, and home technology. I’ve nearly nine years of notes in OneNote that have migrated from my first tablet, (A HP TC1000 that’s still in use by a [...]

Amazon made big news this week with the release of its larger Kindle DX, and while we still have some unanswered questions about the device and the service, the news surrounding it spurred a good deal of thought about how this might impact Slate Tablet PCs. Xavier and Warner spend some time talking about the [...]
With what looks like the advent of a new Amazon Kindle and continued talk of an Apple Tablet of sorts, Crunchpads, and other just over the horizon mobile wonders, some are saying the new devices are driving Tablet PCs further into a niche market and some are seeing yet even more promise for the slate [...]
Way back in September we brought you the news that Fujitsu was cooking up a new slate Tablet PC called the ST6012. Well it’s officially been released and available for ordering! This new slate offers up some cool features that aren’t on other slates like an integrated camera and wireless USB. Prices range from [...]
