Up until now though, pricing has been unverified. We did expect, however, that the tablet’s pricing would be similar to that of the iPad if it wanted to pose as a serious threat in that market. We expected wrong. The HP Slate 500 has been set at the rather high price of $799. That’s just under the price of a 64GB 3G iPad. There are a few advantages to the Slate such as it’s 2 cameras but there’s really no reason not to choose the iPad other than that. Here’s the PR:

The new HP Slate 500 Tablet PC is designed specifically for business, enterprise and vertical customers looking for the mobility of a tablet, the familiarity of Microsoft Windows 7 and the ability to run custom or corporate applications.
With a starting weight of only 1.5 lb (0.68 kg), the HP Slate 500 Tablet PC sets a new standard for mobile productivity with a an ultra-thin, sleek form-factor that enables businesses such as retail, healthcare, insurance, education and hospitality to be more intuitive and work efficiently while on the go. The ability to easily incorporate custom business applications differentiates this product and ultimately enhances the user experience and saves time for HP’s business and enterprise customers.
The 8.9-inch capacitive multi-touch display of the HP Slate 500 Tablet PC allows users to navigate on the screen with the touch of a finger or with the HP Slate Digital Pen and Evernote® software to handwrite e-mail messages and take notes easily.
The integrated VGA webcam on the front of the HP Slate 500 Tablet PC enables video conferencing, while the 3MP camera on the back can be used for still-image and video capture. With Wi-Fi CERTIFIEDTM WLAN, users can send and receive e-mails or access the internet at work, at home, and favorite hotspots.
The HP Slate 500 Tablet PC will be available first in the U.S. and then evaluated for further market expansion.

Yeah, we’re just as surprised as you are. We all thought the HP slate was dead but it looks as if the recently cancelled tablet might be making a comeback. Some of the people at IDG news discovered a webpage hidden deep within the inner-workings of www.HP.com. This page revealed quite a few specs for a device called the HP Slate 500. Just what kind of specs? Well, we know that the “Slate 500” will boast Windows 7 Home Premium, an 8.9-inch touchscreen display, a 1.6 GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, and 2 cameras for video and stills. So, what do you think? Is the HP slate still alive despite what the company had previously said?

They say the price-tag will be set at around €400 ($542) which still isn’t enough to beat out the iPad. Other rumors from the site are that it will support Flash, run on an Atom processor, and will feature a USB port, a memory card reader, and a webcam. These are just rumors so we can’t confirm anything but we will update you when we learn more about the HP Slate.
