Microsoft’s CES 2010 keynote is only just starting – plagued by power cuts and temperamental on-stage PCs – but already Steve Ballmer’s surprise tablet unveil has been scooped. The culprit is, ironically, Microsoft itself, prematurely posting the press release to their media site. As for that mystery tablet, despite pre-show rumors its turned out not to be the Courier; instead, it’s turned out to be an as-yet unnamed HP touchscreen device.
There’s a little more detail about the tablet on HP’s Next Bench site. HP have also pushed out a statement regarding the keyboardless slate, which confirms that it will be launching sometime later in 2010 and based on Windows 7:
“An innovative slate product developed by HP was shown on stage by Microsoft’s Steve Ballmer during his 2010 CES keynote. It builds on HP’s pioneering work in touch as a natural user interface and uses the powerful Windows 7 operating system. The HP slate product – yet unnamed — will be available this year. Pricing and specs will be disclosed near its commercial availability.” HP statement
As for the rest of the announcement, Microsoft CES Steve Ballmer is confirming that Project Natal will arrive in time for the 2010 holiday season, and has also been showing off the HTC HD2. That’s confirmed for T-Mobile USA, as we heard from the carrier themselves shortly before the Microsoft keynote began.
