Let me begin this post by asking you a small question. In your opinion, which gadget will be priced higher, iPad or HP Slate? You are likely to say iPad, but that might not be the case. A spanish site Clipset hands-on with the HP Slate has revealed that the HP Slate might be priced higher than the $499 iPad.
Windows 7 powered Tablet is expected to arrive in US and Europe in June at the price of 400 euros or $544.The only attractive thing which HP Slate has and iPad doesn't have is the Flash technology. But that doesn't mean that it shoud be priced higher specially when you consider the fact that it is essentially a netbook adapted to a tablet form. In addition to that, the Slate doesn't have the sensational multi-touch many iPhone users have fallen in love with.
It is worth mentioning here that the official pricing is yet to be revealed, but if Microsoft decides to do so, you all can imagine the fate of the Netbook turned Tablet. Speaking of iPad, do you plan to purchase one when it rolls out on 3rd April?
