5 Very good reasons not to get a HP Slate (instead of an ipad)

When I get my ipad I'm going to get a padded case or a nice towel to wrap it in when I throw it in my bag. Just because I really don't want the back scratched or dented. And the less bag vibration or contact with potentially back scratching materials the better.

Well, aside from the hundreds of thousands of apps that will run on Windows 7.

What's more interesting is going to be the overlap between WinMob7 and Microsoft's desktop OS. Will there be any cross-compatibility? Will MS bring out their own "Pad" device and if so, what OS will they run? They learned a slow and painful lesson with Windows CE and WinMob 6.x, will they remember those lessons?
