So let’s go straight to the specs and features list for the upcoming HP Slate:

So what do you say, tablet lovers? Is the HP Slate worth buying? I’ll tell you the price too: $549-$599, probably depending on how much default storage you want in the first place.

You can easily see in the picture above how the Slate measures up against the iPad and make a choice for yourself for the near future. Of course in case you purchased an iPad and want a Slate now you can always sell yours on eBay when HP will be ready to launch its tablet later this year.

Just like we told you earlier today after simply watching the video above, the HP Slate will come with some very important features the iPad lacks: multitasking and Flash support, two cameras, SD slot for memory upgrades and USB port. What the HP Tablet is less likely to get is the the same apps and eBooks support the iPad has but you can’t have them all, can you?
