The HP Slate 500 is official! (and it's running Windows 7)

The HP Slate running Windows 7 is now official. For $799, you'll a full Windows 7 PC that only weighs 1.5 pounds. Like the Apple iPad, it will have a larger screen, but it will be wide-screen (8.9" diagonal WSVGA wide-viewing angle touchscreen).

The HP Slate 500 will also have an SD slot, a USB port, 2 GB of RAM, up to 64 GB of SSD storage, and 2 cameras. Plus, it will feature a digital pen or touch input on the screen. I can't wait to get my hands on this device so that I can try it out.
