Hewlett Packard released a video hyping their HP Slate. They didn’t present any specifications for the slate, but they did give us their concept and ideas on the device. In the video questions are asked by an HP spokesperson and then answered by HP’s chief technical officer, Phil McKinney.
The realm of the video revolves around McKinney’s concepts. He had this to say about their soon to hit the market HP Slate. Flogger of Expensive Printer Ink, gave them a rating for buzz words.
“2010 is the year of the Slate because of a “perfect storm of innovation.”
Score for buzzwords and phrases …+2
“It’s around the fact that there’s now this convergence of low cost, low power processors, Win 7.0 with an operating system that is touch aware, the ability to create these kinds of platforms with new kinds of touch technology that hit that price point.”
Score for buzzwords and phrases…+5
McKinney also said that the idea behind the research and development, by its Labs team in Bristol, was to take e-readers on to the next stage. Regarding Amazon’s Kindle and Sony’s Reader, McKinney said they’re “optimised for black and white text and don’t offer multi-media rich platforms.”
Score for buzzwords and phrases…+7
Not a bad score, I think their phrases and buzzwords were very impressive and innovating. Looking forward to when HP finally releases more specs and buzz.
