Today, HP unveiled their latest super-thin multitouch enabled convertible tablet. The polarizing tablet form factor (people seem to love it or hate it) has been a mainstay in the HP line with limited success. HP looks to tilt this product to the medical and sales arenas. The convertible tablet behaves both like a traditional laptop or swing the screen around and use the unit as a tablet.
The new 2740p tablet is HP’s first multitouch unit. This means users can pinch, double tap and swipe, just like iPhone users on the screen. Fingers can be used as an input device or a stylus pen. The screen measures 12.1″ diagonally.
The 2740p isn’t just a pretty face, though its aluminum case it is that, it also meets the military spec for vibration, dust, humidity, altitude and high temperature. Tough, touch and good looking? Nice going, HP.
The website says the product is not yet avaialbe (coming soon!) and pricing has not yet been announced.

AND I imagine it will probably even run Flash, allowing for 70,000,000 sites and services not accessible on an iPad.
Sounds good
