HP Slate Debuts During CES Keynote

The big talk of Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer’s CES keynote speech, at least in eBook circles, is the HP Slate, a windows tablet that Ballmer showed off during his talk. He called this device, as well as two others–from Pegatron and Archos–he had on stage, “almost as portable as a phone and as powerful as a PC running Windows 7.”
