Right you are again. The Slate does all of that. As a matter of fact, it is really a modern laptop in a tablet format.

And it is probably a one off product. It exists only because HP and MS make a big deal about it at the 2009 CES and followed through with it. Over the last year, however, the market winds dramatically changed directions. Because HP bought Palm, from their new perspective, everything is now WebOS based. For MS, they are talking about better touch screen capabilities and Windows 8 is the tablet OS of choice.

Anyway, I'd love to use one for a couple of weeks and see how it compares to our Galaxy Tab.
