Talking Tech w/ Alex Ep. 1: No More HP Slate

Recently there’s been so much news to cover in the actively changing world of technology. Well, I’m starting a new video series where you can see and hear about the big headlines in high definition, with a bit of humor on the side. Today we covered the iPad 3G launch, the HTC Droid Incredible, iPhone 4G Rumors, and the HP Slate is no more.

Recently Apple has finally launched their iPad models that have 3G in the United States. AT&T will be the carrier of this reveloutionary device. Data plans on AT&T start at $14.99 per month which will buy you 250 mega bytes of data. You can also buy the unlimited data plan for $29.99 per month. Prices for the iPad are as follow

16 GB $629 32 GB $729 64 GB $829

Now, to the HTC Droid Incredible:

Tech Specs: Processor 1 GHz Qualcomm Snap Dragon Processor  OS: Android 2.1 Carrier: Verizon Wireless Camera: 8 Mega Pixels Display: 3.2 inches and full on screen qwerty keyboard

Recently HP came out and said they will not be launching the HP Slate anytime soon. They said that Windows 7 is not a tablet Operating System. But, you could factor in another reason, which would be HP purchasing Palm for $1.2 billion.

Well, I can’t write everything that I said in my video so, if you want to know more about what I said, please take a look at the video.

Shiny Products on the Way!

We are getting increasingly closer to Apple's release of the iSlate/Tablet/iPad, and rumors are a dime a dozen. This is a quick post; I wrote an in-depth analysis previously.

I think the Slate will have FREE 3G, and will cost around $1000, maybe just under. If Apple doesn't subsidize the device, then I think this is very likely. Amazon's Kindle has this, and would be one of the biggest selling points. However, if Apple DOES subsidize it, I think the Slate will be around $600, and have a $20-30 monthly data plan that permits VOIP, from AT&T and/or Verizon. I think Apple has sorely learned that AT&T is well, AT&T.

Just want to make this a very brief article. If you wish to continue reading, click here.
