Oh dear god.

After months of engadget, techcrunch and gizmodo comenters building this up...HP completely blew it. If you're going to build a tablet to compete with the iPad, you do it from the ground up with a tablet in mind. The 'windows in tablet form' has been done before and failed so hard.

Under no circumstances do you make it take 30 seconds to boot...Also, you can tell that he's having tonnes of trouble getting it to do simple things like go to Youtube and scroll. Can you imagine how difficult it would be to build a powerpoint presentation? This is the definition of fail.

Looks like Android's up to bat.
