Microsoft unveils Slate tablet PC
Steve Ballmer demos the HP Slate
Ballmer says, "This great little PC will be available later this year. I think many customers are going to be very, very excited about it."
The original Tablet PC devices were based on laptops without the keyboard – giving users all the worst elements of portable PC technology, plus no touch typing. Now there is a new version called the Slate, unveiled at this year's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
