I need your advice about Pc slate

What would be your advice? I was glad
about the HP slate, when it was first announced, with window 7,It was believed
that it was possible to read the entire logos 4 resources, now this is I think
out of question. But now I am asking your help to make a dession,is there any
news of another device in production,appart of the ipad?If there is no alternative,
should I buy the ipad,or I have to wait until January,incase there may be
another in process of production?, or the ipad may be cheaper or better one may
be produced?

God bless you.

Tesfaye, not sure what is "out of the question." Do you mean it may not be produced? You know technology is always changing. I am sure if you wait, you will get something. But how long do you want to wait? the iPad would be nice NOW, although you would not access your whole library. However, significant resources CAN be used on it (like Zondervan products, etc). Are you just wanting it to read?

Of course, you could get the TouchSmart from HP. Not as light as an iPad, but perhaps more user-friendly than a regular laptop when you just want to read (you can fold the screen down).

I don't have the money for either. But I have used my wife's iPod touch to read several things, and it was nice. I am sure the iPad would be even nicer! But remember, the functionality on it is much less than the full L4 version--just depends what you want it for (and there is currently no highlighting, too, remember)

Tes, I think the closest to what you are looking for is supposed to be a few new announcements from Asus. HP Slate should be similar to iPAD as far as the operation system. It will not support Windows 7 as far as I know. New Asus devices (at least one of them) should. You can google them, I do not have the link ready here. I am also looking for that kind of device. iPad is not meeting my expectations, yes, it is great, but I need "full blood" Logos on the device. iPad is not offering that.

Yes ,you were hoping also like me ,that the HP slate
might be the best one to work with the full capacity of Logos 4,but there was
no successes on it ,I would be glad if it would be possible , with window
7,that enables me to use Amharic fonts, as well as my Amharic Bible offline.Let
me see ,where I can see what the Asus can offer?

Tes,

I have used an HP Elitebook 2730p for this very purpose but have found the Tablet form factor too bulky. The startup time and the sleep factor/battery usage just don't work and it truly feels like you are carrying a small laptop around. I have also used the iPad and the way it works is excellent but the limitations of the Logos app have been noted by many. Language support would be a problem for many as well. I understand that the eventual Windows competitor will be running a version of Windows called Windows Embedded Compact 7. This is expected to be somewhere in between Windows 7 and Windows Mobile 7 but as far as i can tell applications will have to be rewritten for it as well so L4 would not work out of the box. I am skeptical that we are going to see a truly functioning Windows 7 OS on a slate form factor due to its inherent limitations (power usage, memory usage, OS image size, UI design, etc.) Apple has the form factor and OS right with the iPad. I think we are seeing tacit agreement from HP and Windows separately when the HP Slate was killed and Micorosoft announced WEC7. The unfortunate outcome of that for us as mobile Bible studiers is that we either wait until it all shakes out or we put up with substantial limitations for a while. I am choosing the latter.

Tes,

I expect that we'll see a new iPad either in the fall (just in time for Christmas buying) or in January (around the anniversary of the announcement). I expect the new one will have a better display (perhaps similar to the iPhone 4's Retina Display), a camera on the front for video conferencing, more RAM with the processor (the iPhone 4's A4 has 512MB to the iPad's 256MB), and a few additional surprises. iOS 4 will be available on it in the early fall, I suspect.

I don't know any of this, but these are reasonable and educated guesses based on my technology insights coupled with a bit of the prophetic gift.

I thought you have done some resarches.
