Why are their no comparisons to the MS Courier. That seems like it might be a decent rival or alternative to the iPad. ---Chikn

Josipher I guess you haven't used an IPAD yet. If you have not touch or used an IPAD please DON NOT comment as if you know something.

IPAD is totally useless in the business world. Slate will have windows 7. I can install all the "usefull apps" in windows 7 that can be use in a "real world application". Try that on an IPAD.

Yea, exactly what I was thinking too. When shrunk, people want it to fit in their pocket, like an iPhone, but a really expensive iPhone to boot, so their would really be no diff at all, IMO.

I thought the whole point of an ipad (an over sized ipod touch) was for the bigger screen the whole point of it is to read books more easily that's it why would you browse the web on it it has no flash support. If they shrink it its just a damn ipod touch what they should have done is put OSX on the ipad i think it's a huge waste of money even the hp slate yes it has a full os but so do netbooks and i am sure some netbooks get more then 5 hours of battery life
