Can HP Slate challenge the Apple iPad?

Courtesy: Engadget

By comparing head to head on technology, HP Slate appears to have the lead over Apple iPad. However, when I create a new comparison matrix between HP Slate & Apple iPad based on key technology areas and the WOW factors, a different view emerges:

	HP Slate	Apple iPad
Ease-of-use	Maybe	Yes
Intuitive Touch Screen	Maybe	Yes
Simplicity	Maybe	Yes
Fun to Use	Maybe	Yes
eBook Reader	Maybe	Yes
Video & Music Player	Yes	Yes
Video Camera	Yes	No
Web Browsing	Yes	Yes
Great Apps	Maybe	Yes
Millions of Users & fans	No	Yes
Connectivity	Yes	No
Battery Life	Short	Long
WOW FACTOR	No	Yes

Bottomline:

Apple sold over 300,000 iPads on the first day of launch... "Apple also announced that iPad users downloaded over one million apps from Apple’s App Store and over 250,000 ebooks from its iBookstore during the first day."

“It feels great to have the iPad launched into the world—it’s going to be a game changer,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “iPad users, on average, downloaded more than three apps and close to one book within hours of unpacking their new iPad.”

What this means to Apple's topline is new product revenue in the billions (yes, you read it right!) from Apple iPad sales in 2010 (check Apple iPad will ignite the eBook market...) but there's more... Apple will generate new product revenue for the apps and eBooks... which could be another billion dollar business in the making!

All this means is an uphill climb for HP Slate... and it's all going to come down to ease-of-use, fun to use, intuitiveness and the coolness factor (and not the bells & whistles)! HP Slate doesn't have the X-Factor that an Apple iPad has. On the other hand, HP Slate can make a killing in the Netbook market... but that's not the game Apple iPad is playing. Can Mark Hurd provide the oomph that HP Slate needs to become successful overnight? He better be calling Steve Jobs...

Apple introduces new MacBook Pros

"High performance now comes in three sizes: 13-inch, 15-inch, and 17-inch."

Key innovations, performance and competitive price:
1. Unibody Aluminium construction with precise details makes it a modern classic
2. Breakthrough long-lasting battery with 7 hours of running time on single charge
3. NVIDIA graphics display card powering LED-backlit display for awesome imagery
4. Green, environment-friendly notebooks built with recyclable materials and energy savings
5. Price, Price, Price... reduced to $1,199 for the 13-inch MacBook Pro, a step closer to the $999 price which Apple will introduce later in 2009.

Mac Engineers also designed a "clickless" "button-less" mouse pad or the track pad.

"The first thing you might notice — or not notice — is the button. The entire trackpad is the button, so you can click anywhere. Without a separate button, the spacious trackpad gives your hands plenty of room to move on the large, silky glass surface. Use two fingers to scroll up and down a page. Pinch to zoom in and out. Rotate an image with your fingertips. Swipe with three fingers to flip through your photo libraries. Swipe with four fingers to show your desktop, view all open windows, or switch applications. If you’re coming from a right-click world, you can right-click with two fingers or configure a right-click area on the trackpad."

Apple launches iPhone 3G S - Speediest, Smartest, Sexiest Smartphone

Apple introduced the latest iPhone 3G S - S for Speed (upto two times faster), S for Shoot (with the video camera and 3.0 megapixel Still camera), S for Smart (with features such as Voice Control for making calls and music, Internet tethering and voice memos), S for Spotlight Search (search across the entire iPhone, contacts, email, calendars, notes and iPod), S for Slim (slimmer than previous iPhone), S for the two "s"es in Compass (a very cool digital compass), S for the "scape" in LandScape mode (a boon for those typing lots of messagaes, mail, notes and Safari, and who are endowed with large fingers), S for Send and SMS (as in send multimedia rich messages with video, audio, pictures, contact information and even forward them), S for Space (even more, twice the diskspace of iPhone 3G), S for Stocks (as in better stock charts and features) and finally, S for Sexy - the sexiest iPhone to date, now available in White as well as Black! iPhone 3G S is The smartphone you have been waiting for... available for only $199 for the 16 GB version.

Bottomline:

The innovations in iPhone 3G S are downright absurd, and will help expand Apple's marketshare further in the growing smartphone market segment. iPhone has been a category killer with innovative features and iPhone apps store, and now with a starting price of only $99 for the base iPhone, Apple will penetrate the market even deeper and faster. Finally, there is an iPhone for every budget. The question is whether Apple can keep up the margins with such competitive pricing. If the economy rebounds in late 2009, Apple iPhone will have a huge last quarter - traditionally the best quarter in Apple's financial performance. iPhone 3G and iPhone 3G S will stall the new Palm Pre and Nokia's N97. Can it also stall Blackberry? The only thing missing from today's announcement was the absence of Steve Jobs.

Update: June, 2010

Keep applications open in the background. Organize your apps with folders. Shop for books in the iBookstore. The 8GB iPhone 3GS takes advantage of all the great features of iOS 4. And it starts at an amazing new price — just $99.*

Steve Jobs launches new iPhone at Apple Developers Conference?

"The Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) provides developers and IT professionals with in-depth technical information and hands-on learning about the powerful technologies in iPhone OS and Mac OS X from the Apple engineers who created them"

Is Apple announcing the all new iPhone at the sold out conference with over 1,000 Apple engineers and over 5,000 Apple hardcore developers and aficionados? What will this new iPhone have: full motion video, video recording and editing, faster iPhone, slimmer body, business apps and more...

Is Steve Jobs making the announcement of the new iPhone in a cameo?

Who will win the top awards and bragging rights for the best iPhone application and Mac OS X applications?

After all the stakes are high... "Winners will receive two 15-inch MacBook Pros (best configuration), two 30-inch Apple Cinema Displays, two 16GB iPhone 3Gs, two 16GB iPod touch, an ADC 2009 Premier Membership, and reimbursement of their WWDC 2009 E-ticket."

All eyes will be on Apple as it kicks off the Apple Developer's Conference on June 8, 2009. If Steve Jobs makes an entrance, watch out! There will be a frenzy...
