I wonder if this will help out with TouchPad development as well seeing as it the innards seem similar…

I can’t run around and shoot pics at the zoo with my nexus 7 tho. They pulled a Steve jobs on us with the nexus 7. I really do want a rear camera but was convinced I didn’t at the time.

I’d rather see them include BoomSound with a slightly higher price. That feature would be extremely helpful on tablets.

Looks pretty sleek, however, I am a fan of the TouchPad’s screen size. Besides the iPad knock-offs on eBay, it seems like there are no other Android-capable tablets with the 9.7″ screen.

No, you place your fingertips on the edges, and your palm supports the bottom, and you don’t need a 3″ bezel.

Dis this has the SD slot, that’s a step above the Nexus… But I’m sure Google will have an updated Nexus 7 this year.

I don’t need too. Brand name says enough.

Google/ASUS are already at next to nil profit margins. Amazon is ad subsidizing to get there prices as low as they are. I don’t see too many price drops in the future. Kudos to HP, hopefully they can find the winning formula and hopefully they embrace devs.

And by that you mean they introduced relevant specs to meet a price point, right? I own a nexus 7, love the thing, but I won’t pass judgement till I get one of these in my hands or listen to a review from a trusted source.

Many of ‘us on this site’ prefer to wait for the hands on assessment.

Oh so you’ve held a slate 7 then? I mean to be able to make such an absolute comparison. Please, tell us more.

Funny, I was thinking the same thing about your comments.
