question about HP slate?
1. If the HP slate doesn’t have keyboard,
how is it possible to write a note, is it like mobile telephone, which you have
to look for the alphabets to type with one finger at a time or something else?
2. Is there full access to Logos
resources?
3. I would like to know If it is
possible to zoom?
Blessings in Christ.

Since the HP Slate hasn't been released yet, the answers will be somewhat conjecture...but...:
1. Windows Tablets use software called the "Tablet Input Panel" to convert handwriting to text (or tap out characters on a virtual keyboard). More info is at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms698524.aspx Note that some applications written for tablets incorporate this function directly (like Windows Journal), without using TIP. Also, some tablets offer voice input...but it's accuracy for some voice ranges/inflections can be unacceptable. TIP handwriting input works much better with pen input, and I've heard complaints about the effect of a palm contacting the screen/causing errors on multi-touch devices.
2. A Win7 tablet (like the Slate) would run the full version of Logos 4 (or 3). Therefore, as long as you had enough storage space, you would have full access to Logos resources. Excepting of course anything that it is Internet dependent (like parts of the Home Page)...in those cases, you would have to have some way of getting Internet service...most likely WiFi.
3. HP will probably bundle some kind of "helper" apps with it's slate in order to overcome the challenge of navigating the Win7 GUI with touch / pen movements. Those apps might include some kind of zoom feature. However, you are more likely to have the opposite issue...I run Logos on 1920x1200 resolution monitors in order to pack as much on the screen as I can. The HP slate's resolution will be much less...perhaps 800x600, meaning you will be less lilkely to use a bunch of L4 windows at once (but perhaps a good thing, since the processor will just be an Atom). L4's zoom features will work as you expect them to, so reading resource text shouldn't be an issue...hitting little buttons might be though.
When I got my first slate tablet, it took about two weeks for me to acclimate to it...a frustrating learning curve. However, after using it for a while I really liked it a lot...especially OneNote--wow! I don't have one anymore, but really want to get one. I just have to stop buying so many Logos resources...

Thank you Ward for detail information.

Some say that it is not going to work with Window 7 I am woundering what to choose .

It does appear that Win 7 is too much for Slate specs now. I think right now the horsepower available in a $500-$750 device is just not going to cut it with a full OS. HP's moves hint at that. I was and am disappointed by the limitations of the iPad so am just biding my time. I have a HP 2730 I can use in a convertible manner but it is a little too big for church use. Still waiting for the perfect solution and it looks like we all wait a little longer.
