HP Slate videos (yes it runs Flash)
With all the fall out about the iPad not supporting Flash player or Air it seems that Flash is hitting back by demoing Flash stuff on the upcomming HP Slate. Since the slate runs Windows 7 of course, it will run Flash.

But I guess Adobe figured most people didn't know that... so they put out some videos and info.

Hope it's a little larger than 9.7".

Also, not sure about running a full desktop OS, unless it has a nice touch front end. And a nice LCD, like IPS (or OLED, of course

Finally, hope the workmanship is closer to that of Apple and the Kindle, than to the regular HP stuff.

Good to see more coming.

OLED screen 9.7" or larger? Perhaps you can get a good deal on it for $2-3000.

.

Is this a different HP slate than what was announced a little while back?

I assumed it was the same one just making a new appearance, from what I remember that was only 7".

EDIT: It was the pegatron tablet that looked interesting to me since that one has an 11.6" screen.
