Werner:

This is the one I was referring to:
http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/hp-slate-to-cost-549-have-1-6ghz-atom-z53
0-5-hour-battery/

It looks like they are competing with the iPAD with capacitive display.

Most Wacom pen-based tablets use radio to get the actual position and are,
consequently, as good as a mouse. It's "only" the touchscreen (for being
operated with bare hands) that sucks with resistive models. (There are very
few exceptions; for example, the initial HP tablet model, the resistive-
only TC1000.) That is, I don't think the Courier will be a quantum leap in
writing recognition / preciseness when compared to an even old tablet with
pen input - if you need input precisity (sp?) and finger input isn't
important (then, go for a model with an additional capacitive screen), any
existing Wacom-based tablet will do.

And rumor has it HP has killed the Slate as well.

but only, to develop a WebOS based tablet instead of a Windows (mobile)
based.
