HP's Slate tablet pc was published for $799
Whether HP's Slate tablet pc was published has been a riddle when mentions for the first time after Windows 7 released conferences at the October, 2009. Today, Hewlett-Packard has released its Windows 7 Slate computer before the end of the year.
Hewlett-Packard's $799 device called Slate 500 attempts to replicate the PC experience in tablet form - in contrast to rivals who've brought more of a smart phone feel to their devices. The Slate runs the same version of Windows 7 used by many companies on their standard PCs.
The Slate 500 is based on Intel's Z540 Atom processor, which runs at 1.86 gigahertz, and has up to 2 gigabytes of DDR2 RAM. For storage it uses flash memory units with up to 64 gigabytes of storage.
It's built around an 8.9-inch diagonal multitouch screen and has 802.11 b, g and n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 3.0. The device weighs 1.5 pounds and is 0.58 inches thick. It's overall case is 9.2 by 5.9 inches.
So how will the HP Slate 500 stack up? Over at zicocn,james abe says the HP Slate 500 doesn't stack up, and that's the point – the HP Slate 500 is an entirely different type of device. "The Slate is running the same operating system as your desktop PC and laptop, assuming you're a Windows 7 user," Elgan writes. "It's running components designed for PCs, including 8 times the amount of RAM that's in an iPad. It runs PC applications unmodified."
HP said this Slate 500 "for rarely work in the traditional desktop computer, but need to be in a safe, familiar to professionals working in the Windows environment, it is a perfect PC."

Facebook's CEO Mark Zuckerburg said he was not concerned about the current profitability of Facebook when Speaking at incubator Y Combinator's Startup School, Facebook is focused on gaining users and improving the experience for existing users.
Zuckerberg said that any extra cash is just reinvested in the product, so Facebook is currently still run at "around" break-even level. Zuckerberg said: "There's no point right now in having a massive profit," however, Zuckerberg on Facebook's attitude is changing. He said the Building a company is one of the most efficient ways in the world that you can kind of align the incentives of a lot of smart people towards making a change.
Zuckerberg also talked about the movie "social networking." Zuckerberg acknowledged that some details of the film is real. For example, "every shirt and fleece" in the movie is one that he has worn. But he also pointed out, it's revealing to compare what the movie got right and what it got wrong. He said he founded the Facebook is not for chasing girls, he had a girlfriend Priscilla Chan since before starting Facebook.
However, according to David Kirkpatrick's "Facebook effect", since Zuckerberg and Chan broke up, Zuckerberg had another girlfriend during Facebook's early days in Silicon Valley. Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan didn't start dating again until 2006.
Zuckerberg said that some of the misunderstanding of the film proved the difference between Hollywood and Silicon Valley. He said: "Hollywood can not understand, it was created just because they like something."

Nokia N8 can not compete with iPhone 4
Some analysts said the Nokia smart phones N8 which was given high expectations can not compete with iPhone3GS,let alone the iPhone 4.
Nokia N8 is called the high-end smart phones, in fact, N8 is mainly used to replace the N97, N97mini and N900, both of which are rather long in the tooth; the first one was announced nearly two years ago in December 2008!
In addition to replace the old product, N8 is also responsible for another important mission: to challenge Apple iPhone4. But analysts believe that N8 can not compete with iPhone3GS,let alone the iPhone 4. In addition to 12 million pixel camera and some electronic components,the N8 is seriously under equipped to face the competition.
However, the iPhone 4 dramatically outperforms Nokia's N8, boasting a significantly more powerful processor. The Finnish phone developers most recent business smartphone fails to improve upon the processor capacity of its previous version, the N97, running the relatively outdated ARM11. But the end of this year, a number of smart phones will run the CortexA8 1.2GHz processor.
Memory is another area in which the N8 falls behind the iPhone 4. N8 memory is only 256MB, while the iPhone4 is 512MB. N8 screen resolution is only 640x360, the same as its predecessors and comparable to entry level (yep entry level) models like the Nokia 5230.The iPhone 4 resolution of 960x640.
There's the Operating systems, SymbianOS have lost competitiveness in the market, and iOS and Android were developed rapidly. OVI for example is woefully anemic compared to the likes of the Apple App store or even Google's App Marketplace.Apple and Android both offer much more than OVI for mobile apps, which can offer some efficient solutions for daily enterprise mobility operations.This is why Nokia has partnered with AT&T to organise a contest for North American developers with $10 million worth of prizes.
In contrast, N8 The only advantage is price point. The phone will go on sale at Tesco for ￡330 only, which is less than the ￡385 that the iPhone 3GS 8GB currently commands at the same retailer.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg denied the rumors on mobile phones
Facebook held a mobile-focused event by CEO Mark Zuckerberg and announced to updates company's iPhone applications yesterday. Mark Zuckerberg denied recent rumors that Facebook plans to develop mobile phones in the conference.
Zuckerberg said Facebook now has 200 million mobile service users. He denied that the Facebook will develop own brand mobile phone plan at the press conference.
Headlining Facebook's event were updates to Places, the location-based features that the social network announced back in August. Places allows Facebook users to "check-in" to a business or other location and then share posts and media about that location. Unlike other location-based social networks like Gowalla and Foursquare, though, Facebook also allows users to check their friends into a place, as long as the friend opts into this ability by turning on the feature in their privacy settings.
Don't worry about getting spammed with coupons if you use Facebook on your iPhone, though, because Facebook's updated iPhone app will only highlight retailers with deals in the Places list. If you don't ever stumble into the Places section, you should never be bothered with any of these coupons.
During a Q&A session at the end of Facebook's event, someone asked founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg why his company has yet to release an official iPad app, leaving the space to third-party apps like Friendly and Social.
To be more precise, as noted in the comments below, Mr. Zuckerberg said specifically, “iPad isn’t mobile,” which means that he doesn’t think it competes in the mobile phone space.
Which means that while Apple might consider iPhone and iPad as kindred spirits due to their shared OS, Facebook doesn’t. In fact, when Mashable’s Ben Barr said to the two execs that Apple would disagree on this issue, Mr. Zuckerberg said in his usual straight forward manner, “Well, sorry.”
Mr. Tseng then stepped in to say that the company is still trying to work out its approach to the tablet market, which suggests that Facebook is looking to bring Facebook to the tablet market as a whole in a unified way.
