HP Slate 500 vs. HP PalmPad: Choices, Choices

It was recently revealed that HP has "shelved" development of an Android tablet . That move seems perfectly reasonable given that HP just spent $1.2 billion to purchase Palm and its competing WebOS platform. However, it would also make sense if HP abandoned the Windows 7 Slate and just focused on the WebOS tablet .

A cached Google page displays the HP catalog of computing products, and if you scroll way down you will encounter a handful of HP Slate 500 model options. The page for each model is a tad sparse--but so is every other product on this particular site so I guess we shouldn't expect much in the way of technical detail.

The product description on the Web page describes the Slate 500 models this way: "No matter where you are or what kind of fun you're in the mood for, the HP Slate 500 is all you need. Exclusive HP software gives you access to photos, videos and everything on the Internet with just a touch, while Windows 7 Premium gives you the power to do what you want. The unique design and 22.6 cm (8.9") screen put the full Internet in your hands, while two cameras (video and still) let you capture life as it happens or participate in web conferencing. Adjust the screen orientation to fit your content and use the pen to write or draw as if on a piece of paper. Whatever you want to do, the HP Slate 500 helps you do it--and makes it more fun too."
