HP Launches Slate7 Android Consumer Tablet in the Middle East
HP’s first Android tablet expands company’s tablet portfolio
With a 17.78cm (7-inch) diagonal screen and
weighing 368 grams (13 ounces), the HP Slate7 is an ideal trusted
personal companion, featuring a stainless-steel frame and soft black paint in
gray or red on the back. It also is the industry’s first tablet to offer
embedded Beats Audio, for the best-sounding, richest audio experience available
on a tablet.
The HP Slate7 delivers the Google
experience with services like Google Now, Google Search, Gmail, YouTube, Google
Drive and Google+ Hangouts for multiperson video
chat as well as access to apps and digital content through Google Play.(1)
“There is high demand in the consumer technology
segment in the Middle East arena. Consumers in the region have vast consumer
tech knowledge and are always on the lookout for the newest and most
outstanding products,” said Salim Ziade, General Manager,
Printing and Personal Systems, HP Middle East. “HP is a leading player
in the PC market and has implemented similar innovative practice for the
tablets industry, introducing its first Android consumer tablet, HP Slate7.
The HP Slate7 on Android represents a compelling entry point for
consumer tablets, and delivers the service and support people expect from HP”
The HP Slate7 joins the recently
introduced HP Chromebook as part of HP’s
push to offer access to the Google experience.
HP’s tablet offerings reside in the company’s newly
formed Mobility Global Business Unit, established in September 2012 with the
hiring of Torres. Torres joined HP from Nokia, where he was executive vice
president and oversaw the MeeGo products and platform.
Access

Powered by an ARM Dual Core Cortex-A9 1.6
GHz processor, the HP Slate7 is fast and responsive. Integrated
wireless allows customers to access email, the internet and key applications,
while the High-aperture-ratio Field Fringe Switching (HFFS) panel offers wide
viewing angles that provide easy viewing of documents, games, photos and videos—even
in outdoor lighting conditions.
The HP Slate7 includes a 3-megapixel
camera on the back and a VGA camera on the front for chatting, videos and
photos.
With the HP ePrint(2) application,
customers can easily print while at home or on the go, and an exclusive native
printing capability enables customers to print directly from most applications.
A micro USB port allows customers to easily transfer files, and a suite of
applications from HP spans exclusive games to productivity tools.
HP will provide an array of simple and easy-to-access
support tools and resources to help customers take full advantage of all of the

offer. In addition to extensive phone and online support offerings included
with the HP Slate7, HP is offering customers the opportunity to
expand and extend the standard product limited warranty with its HP Care Pack
services.
