Wow.\u00a0 Just read in Techcrunch<\/a>, ( ta for the tip @thekenyeung ) that HP is killing the slate.\u00a0 At least in its current format. There is a possibility it can come back running WebOS.\u00a0 But till we know for sure, its dead.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>So who is left?\u00a0 Google.\u00a0 I have not heard much on the gSlate, but as far as I know its still in development. I can understand HP killing the tablet since its really not an appliance like the iPad<\/a> is, but I guess they decided there was not enough market between the current tablet market (which is small) and the appliance market that the iPad owns.<\/p>\n

So now what?\u00a0 I decided not to buy the iPad because I wanted to see what HP does.\u00a0 I guess I could wait for the Google tablet, but from what I understand, and TC also comments, that the Google tablets is suppose to be stripped down and cheap.\u00a0 If that is the case, the touch screen\u00a0 may not be good enough for high fidelity pen input.\u00a0 Well… I was planning on getting an iPad when the price comes down, so unless Google really surprises me, I guess I will get the iPad.\u00a0 Oh and the JooJoo?\u00a0 Ha!\u00a0 no.<\/p>\n
