We are still lacking details on all the slates out there but at least this will give you a rough idea on what is it and how it looks like. We’ll be monitering the Apple iSlate closely for an expected announcement this month end, stay tuned.

Wow beautiful and wonderful design with a stylish tablet pc hp is striking again, but I’m always in favor of a desktop computer

The Dell tablet looks the nicest, but that looks more like a smartphone instead of a tablet?
On a related topic, any idea if any e-book readers like Kindle or Nook will be available in Malaysia?

interesting I didn’t realize that all these other companies were coming out with slates. Hopefully they all give eachother some good competition

Program, desktop is irreplaceable especially for intensive gaming. Tablets are for portability purposes
Adino, ya, Dell mini 5 looks nice but somehow I like the design of HP Slate.
Website Marketplace, all the while we thought Apple is the one who’ll release a tablet. All of the sudden, Microsoft + HP, Dell, Nvidia, Sony and etc are announcing their tablet in CES 2010.
pays to live green, thanks. However, they’re all in prototype stage, not much information we can gather.

the dell one is the best looking one by far but that doesn’t mean is the best one. I always buy my graphic cards from nvidia so if I were to buy one I’d probably get the Nvidia one

Really looking forward to them,
but probably more toward the second generation, (i always like second gen stuff, less buggy)
But the wait is long… very long…

This is a great reference chart for all the different tablets. Its gonna be hard to decide which one to choose till further details come out.

The iSlate is very likely to kick all of the others into touch. Full integration with the iPhone and all of the apps available is going to set Apple’s tablet apart from all the others I’m sure.

Be patient
We shall see how iSlate looks like once Apple decide to announce it on 26th Jan 2010. What I’m curious is how Apple going to improve the keyboard input for touchscreen.

Would like to remind those who have a tablet PC with windows. Try out Microsoft office onenote, it’s an amazing tool for screen toucher!

I like the Microsoft & HP Tablet and the Dell Tablet. They have a very beautiful design, especially the Dell tablet. The Nvidia looks very ugly (in my opinion).
