HP To Launch Slate 500 For Business

After much waiting, HP finally announces that it is launching the Slate 500... for enterprise.  It will run Windows 7 Professional so this is not a loss for consumers.  In addition, the price tag will be a staggering $800.  The HP Slate will sport an 8.9 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel capacitive touchscreen display. It will sport a 1.86GHz Intel Atom Z540 processor, 2GB of RAM and a 64GB solid state disk. It will also have a 3MP camera on the back and a front-facing VGA camera for video calls.

Best Buy to introduce its own Tablet?

Best Buy CTO & Geek Squad founder, Robert Stephens, tweeted two pictures of a Rocketfish Tablet.  For those of you who maybe unaware Best Buy sells certain products under their own house brand, Rocketfish.  These products are rebranded products offered by well known companies. 

Update: HP's Slate Tablet is Alive & Well

UPDATE: Now, it seems that HP is not going to release the Slate as a consumer product but "for the enterprise."  Engadget reported that while speaking at the Fortune Brainstorm Tech conference, HP Personal Systems Group VP Todd Bradley said that the Slate will be "more customer-specific than broadly deployed."  Seems that news is also changing so who knows what other news will be coming.
