HP Slate Show Off Flash

HP trying to keep up with the competition and has released a video which bares a similarity to last night's iPad commercial. HP runs Windows 7 so we were not at all surprised when HP's announcement of its new Slate device that supports Flash.

There has not been much advertisement of the device since it was announce and displayed by Steve Ballmer at the CES. The video below from Adobe gives you a much clearer look at the functionality of this device.

You can get a quick shot of the on-screen keyboard, it looks like an edited version of the standard Windows 7 keyboard. It dose not look comfortable to type on.

Flash is hardware-accelerated on the Slate, which suggests something other than a bone-stock Atom setup in there – there is speculation that its an Atom plus a Broadcom Crystal HD Accelerator.
