A lot has happened since the Apple iPad has official been shown. Tech geeks and Apple fan boys have immediately started to compare the iPad to the HP Slate, which has caused small iPad vs. HP Slate war to ignite.
Both of these devices caters to a market that is yet to exist, yet both of these tablets (or slates, as some like to call them) hope to create that market themselves. Nobody is sure how successful they will be, but everyone knows that whenever two leading companies like Apple and HP compete, only awesome stuff can be expected.
At first glance, but these devices will look pretty similar to each other in regards to their display. Yet the HP Tablet's display screen is about 0.3 inches larger than the iPad's screen, though the resolutions and other specs remain unknown. One problem though with the iPad is its screen ratio, which is 4:3. Most video these days is in a 16:9 ratio, so this could be a problem.
The HP Slate comes with a 1 megapixel camera that can be used for web chatting and taking still pictures, though you shouldn't expect much qualify from it. Somehow Apple forgot to include a camera in their device.
The most important thing we have to discuss is the operating system of the devices. Everyone was expecting these leading technology companies to come up with something special for their tablets, but everyone was disappointed when they found out that the operating system on the iPad was the same one of the iPhone and that the HP Tablet only came with Windows 7.
The clear winner is the HP Slate, though sales figures in the near future will surely tell us more. One thing is clear, though, the iPad vs. HP Slate war has begun.
