You can see that in the youtube video. According to Microsoft, the HP slate PC is powerful as a desktop computer. What you are looking at that HP slate PC is a prototype.

I want one of these for my Mother and all she likes to do is play flash games, browse the web, chat, and check her email. This device can do all that. I'm sold as far as I'm concerned. The Ipad is basically fail. When I got my first itouch I knew they would make a large one and what do you know? Fail on the name, fail on predictability, fail on no flash, fail on no expandable storage, fail fail fail. The only thing this has going for it is the app store. If you have an iphone or an itouch you don't need this. And if you have an iphone you dont need either an Itouch or "IPAD". This HP device looks really nice. An actual OS on it with a great hardware design? HP + Windows FTW! If it didnt have flash I woudln't buy it.

The point Steve Jobs was trying to make about “the best browsing experience on a device” was how you interact with it, how you navigate through the web.

Flash is a tricky thing, Apple have their reasons to not incorporate it like battery life issues, interaction issues as most sites have a hovering effect for menus and such, the fact that Flash for OS X consumes about twice as much CPU as the Windows counterpart since the iPhone OS is based on OS X itself.

I agree that Flash is important to the web, but until Adobe pull their weight Apple will never consider supporting Flash. I am however, keeping my hopes up for Flash 10.1.

And going along with just its size, its basically a huge iPod Touch/iPhone (with less memory). I use my iPod touch all the time, and just the lack of a speedy browser is quite annoying, and to top it off, it doesn't load flash. And in doing this you are sometimes unavailable to even visit a webpage cause the entire page is flash based. <br><br>Who knows, I may end up buying one of these when they release. But probably won't cause I'm a tight wad with my money. Well so far from the looks of things, I feel I like this better than the iTampon.

Like it or not, flash is still widely used and to claim 'best ever' for a browsing experience that lacks flash support is boldly ignorant at best.

I love how iDudes get all hot and bothered when other companies try to compete with Apple. That's not a very good recipe for innovation my friend.
