The HP Slate: iPad Killer?

It seems everything now a days is considered an iPhone killer, this killer, that killer, etc…however, the HP Slate just may be a hefty competitor paired up against the recently released Apple iPad.  Many features not included in the iPad seem to come pre-bundled in the HP Slate.  After all, HP promises everything the iPad isn’t with Slate.  Check out the teaser video:

Some of the released features include:

Camera & Video
Not only can you record, but video conferencing seems simple via two-way video using Skype.  Also indicates there will be cameras on each side of the device.

USB Ports
This opens up to a world of possibilities.

SD Memory Expansion Slots
Simple way to move around photos, etc.

Software
With the Apple iPad, you pretty much get what Apple gives you and what’s available in the App Store.  With the HP Slate, you are able to install software such as iTunes, Skype, Firefox, etc.

Adobe Flash
Flash is everywhere, except on Apple mobile products.  It doesn’t bother some, but some will welcome this feature.

Apple has said it themselves, the iPad is NOT made to replace your laptop.  HP on the other had, says that this is exactly what this device is aimed to do.  Set for release later this year, I’m pretty excited to play with one!
