  • From the videos looked sluggish (at times slow)
  • The UI lacked polish
  • Runs a desktop OS

First reason is enough not to get it. I need the iPad 3G yesterday, I can hardly wait another month, and you expect me to wait until Q4? by then the next iPad would be 1Q away.

Another rule of mine is no Intel Atom. Any product with that hideous chip inside earns an instant ignore from me. I don't care it is made by Apple. You can bet on it.
So if this HP Slate has shitass Intel Atom I wont buy it even if it made me breakfast and gave me a blow job.

I sure hope Apple never brings something with Atom, if they do I wont buy it.

Dying to buy a PS3 for Uncharted 2 but my pride says no. And I still love EA.

It looked as good as the iPad but half the size and probably price, too.

I'm not good with guessing size by looking. I need official numbers. But even assuming it is the greatest thing since the Internet, it still wont be around until Q4 2010.

It looks quite a bit smaller. The iPad looks like a giant compared to the HP.

I can't wait until the HP comes out and is 10X better, and people like you are sitting around with your iPeePeePads in your hands, trying to convince everyone they were worth the price.

Sorry but I'm immune to FUD. Trying to announce a product just so I don't buy a competing product out to the market earlier doesn't work with me.

If the HP Slate is really good, I have no troubles buying it. What is better than one tablet? two tablets!

Plus as I said by the time the HP Slate is out, the next gen iPad is a quarter away. So I might just get that one instead. What's better than an iPad? two iPads!

It is obvious that I need the iPad now, not 8 months from now.

Fucking Apple is blocking the Grooveshark app from getting on the App Store. They still released it, but I have to jailbreak my iPhone.

Fuckers.

Not necessarily rejected, but might still being review. Now that you jailbroke you can get all the apps you want, without worrying about Apple.

No, they did reject it. The Grooveshark guys said so on their site.
