If you support the argument that tablet devices other than the iPad will be in high demand, then here’s some evidence to back you up. According to HP’s website, their Windows-based HP Slate 500 is on backorder less than a month after launch. Per Engadget’s intel, HP had only planned to make 5,000 of these things, but received orders for almost double that number.
Let’s be real here: these reports of “thousands” of orders are eclipsed by the millions of iPad sales. Still, we can’t help but think that if and when this super-duper “PalmPad” finally hits the scene, that folks will jump at the opportunity to snatch one up. We know we will!
