Uh oh for HP. After making a fairly big splash with their new slate PC, announced at Microsoft’s big CES keynote, HP has been riding fairly high with interest in what they are going to be coming out with proper. However, there is a fairly big chance that local Silicon Valley opponent Apple is going to steal their thunder right out from underneath them. Apple has announced an event for January 27, where all signs have pointed to the release of an Apple tablet computer, probably in direct competition with the the Slate on HP’s end. Oh, and some new Mac OS updates an iPhone updates. I’d be lying if Ididn’t say that I’m very interested in seeing what Apple has up their sleeve, so like everyone else, January 27 is going to be an interesting day.
