HP Slate leaks come as iPad sales soar

A leak from a HP internal video conference, detailing some of the details of the HP slate, has surfaced, hot on the heals of the iPad’s release.

The video, released 05/04/10, shows off a few of the slate’s features, notably many of the features missing from the iPad, including:

  1. Dual cameras, for video conferencing, taking photos and making movies.

  3. SD Card slot, to either expand the memory or transfer images from a digital camera.
  4. HD Out, allowing the slate to connect to an external screen or monitor.
  5. Skype functionality, implying either a built in, or capability for an external, microphone.
