Hewlett-Packard Co.'s new tablet might look a little bit like Apple Inc.'s latest blockbuster gadget but it's no iPad killer.

Interesting development from HP! While the design might remind some of the latest Apple gadgets, it seems clear that HP’s focus is squarely on business users. This Windows 7 tablet isn’t trying to compete directly with the iPad in the high-profile consumer space, but rather aims to offer enterprise-friendly features and software integrations that companies might appreciate.
I'm curious if anyone has thoughts on whether this move might influence how businesses choose their mobile devices in the future. Could the inclusion of full desktop capabilities on a portable Windows 7-based tablet shift the trend away from traditional laptops, or will it mostly remain a niche solution for specialized environments?
