HP Releases Its $800 Slate, the Latest iPad Rival

Hewlett-Packard Co. released Friday a touchscreen tablet computer that runs Windows, becoming the latest computer maker to jump into the fray following Apple Inc.'s debut of the iPad earlier this year. 
H-P's Slate 500 tablet can be bought on the company's website for $799—above the price of most iPads, which range in price from $499 to $829, depending on storage space and wireless connectivity.
The Slate 500, which has an 8.9-inch screen, will run Microsoft Corp.'s Windows 7 operating system, and is targeted at business customers. IPads have a 9.7-inch screen.
