Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer showed off a new tablet-style computer from Hewlett-Packard during his CES keynote recently. The HP Slate has multitouch capability and can do some gaming. "Tablet-style computers that run Windows have been available for a decade, but HP's machine is bound to draw extra attention, thanks to expectations that Apple will launch a similar device this month," NZ Herald News wrote. The slate --one-piece portable computer without a physical keyboard-- will be available "later this year."

YOU MAY START TO WISH YOU WERE a third-grade child in Burundi, since you will have a chance to enjoy this future computer. Designer Yves
Behar shares images of the the world's cheapest PC and the upgrade version of so-called XO computer --previously known as the "$100 Laptop" or "Children's Machine". As we know, this is part of One Laptop Per Child, MIT professor Nicholas Negroponte's non-profit effort.

Forbes reveals:

That revamped machine, known as the XO-3 and targeted for release in 2012, is still more of a pipe dream than a product. But early designs for the PC reveal a minimalist slate of touch-powered electronics that drops practically every feature of a traditional computer except its 8.5-by-11-inch screen, a scheme that would shed all of the first XO's child-like clunkiness without losing its simple accessibility.
