But to be honest, on paper the differences between the Eee PC 1005PE and 1001P are pretty small

The HP slate: Imagine an iPad that plays Flash, runs Windows 7
March 8th, 2010 Looking for an alternative to the iPad that looks enough like Apple’s tablet to fool your friends into thinking you have one — until they see you start tapping on a start menu or playing Flash video?

HP has released a promotional video that markets the slate pretty much exactly the same was as Apple is marketing the iPad — except the HP slate will play web video from sites like Hulu, as you can see in the promotional video

Google Android Phone if Apple had it’s way
March 8th, 2010 You all probably know that Apple are chasing after HTC at the moment over an issue of 20 infringed patents that Apple I guess want payment for, or want HTC to stop building. It seems like HTC are not Apple’s AAPL real target though and that they are actually after Google GOOG in a weird round-a-bout way. Anyway, Wired put an interesting article together that shows what an Android OS based phone would look like if Apple gets it’s own way.
