It looks like another manufacture is jumping in on the slate bandwagon. Samsung are said to be working on a new PC slate device that is targeted for consumers. Samsung are looking to make this a “primary device” and provide desktop docking, as with HP I think they are trying to highlight the the short coming of the iPad by pointing out its a full PC.

The device is set to ship “in the second half of the year” which could be around the same time as the HP unit.

I still have an occasionally use my Samsung Q1 UMPC while it was ok for watching Media Center content it was to limited for day to day use but I loved the form factor so maybe a more powerful lighter slate with a capacitive touch would be a useful device for me

Do these Windows 7 tablets excite you or is the iPad better for you?
