We\’ve sensed that something\’s been up with the HP Slate for a long time now, and it appears like we\’ve finally gotten the first solid confirmation that the Windows 7 tablet as unveiled by Steve Ballmer at CES in January won\’t hit the buyer market as planned — speaking at the Fortune Brainstorm Tech conference, HP Personal Systems Group VP Todd Bradley just said that the Slate shall be \” more customer-specific than broadly deployed,\” and that it’d launch the Microsoft-based tablet \” for the enterprise\” within the fall. That fits right in with HP telling us the alternative day that it was in \” customer evaluations\” as it prepared for the \” next steps,\” and based on followup comments from Bradley and Palm head Jon Rubinstein, it certainly seemed like the company will focus Windows tablets at the enterprise and develop a lot of webOS devices for the buyer market. Obviously, there\’s no official announcement yet, so we\’ll see what happens — the only real thing that we will confidently say is that the HP Slate has definitely succeeded the iPad as the tech industry\’s favorite vaporware tablet.
