I like HP products. I also like this HP Slate7. But there are a couple of things which this gadget lack, which:-
(1) it is not able to make phone calls and
(2) the back camera does not have an auto-focus lens which is very important to support a low 3-mp camera.
If HP add these two features in this Slate 7, I am going to buy it.

I am very regular user of HP products from the last several years.I think this is new arrival with outdated specs. Mean while there are so many cell phones have more specs then SLATE 7. The management R&D should think about this product which will face big competition in the market.
It is not the size of the Dog in the Fight
it is the Fight in the Dog.
-
HP is 'top heavy' in perception of
"COMPETITION", stinks of fore gone conclusions,
answering the concept of fore gone conclusions
with myopic analysis of product specifications.
=
A "Dead Horse" HP whishes to daily beat
with shame as it trudge down the road
of 'salvation' using antiquated marketeer projection{s} being foscilized.
-
HP once a Icon within the realm of computer science,
marketing, employee Respect, now will swrill into
the vortex of the East Coast "Smoke Stack Mentalit" as in Buffalo, New York State Automotive Industry.

HP is done a "dog chacing a parked automobile"

Be Well
explicitly stated on this page that there's no gsm support for this tablet. No mention of CDMA support either. its screen resolution is also outdated more than 2 years at least, I suspect longer. HP is so behind the times. I agree with niceguy's post, HP really doesn't seem to know what exactly to do. Even if its probably the cheapest tablet out from a well-known company, I seriously doubt this is going to be a hot seller.
"Non-removeable battery" I assume this means that, like the Philips toothbrush, you have to buy a new one every year or so?
Looks good. Got to try it out.

Held and tried it for around 20 minutes. The one with red backcover attracts attention than the grey one.
Solid performer with Jelly bean OS. Nice and crisp screen with 1024x600 resolution.
Mostly, it has stock apps but with audio on streoid (beats audio).
I'm getting one in adition to my mobile device for mobile reviewing docs as it's quite light and thin. Some people may think of having SIM card would be useful. But mostly, I'm the kind of person who would go for simplicity with a pocket wifi driven by 2,700mAh battery to power my whole day connection of my mobile and notebook. Thin enough to slip into my pocket.
Then it would be enough to connect the Slate 7 to the world later on, once I receive the unit. I reckon it will save the battery consumption too.
Expecting it to arrive soon. Just can't wait.
with out no SIM support most of the people not interested . If you include SIM fecility most of the want to buy and use it as a phone and it increases the sales also.Because it is avilable middle class people.
Sad to HP, it seems they don't know exactly what to do. Killing web os, now making android tablets, for what? dump it later?
I WILL WAIT FOR THIS TAB TO REACH THE PHILIPPIE SHORES..
I wonder how long that would take if it is expected to be released this April? hmmmm..
this tablet is cheap...
They should include auto-focus for the low 3.15 mega pixel camera. They should also have 3G capability which is useful for the users. Most gadgets have such capabilities currently. Without these two items included is a setback.
Is this a phone? NO. Just a low cost tablet PC, I suppose.
with so many Android tablets available why buy this from HP? if it had webOS yes,
they will sell a few then abandon it, as the Touchpad was,
i have and use a Touchpad everyday and prefer it to my Android tablet any day,
tabletgeek, 09 Mar 2013How about including 3g and hdmi output even if it comes at an expense of extra 20 bucks. Keepi... morewhy is HDMI a "Key Feature"? if you want to use something on your TV, buy a DVD/blueray player, it will probably be cheaper
