Hanvon Slate Packs Windows 7 Multitouch Into Aluminium Shell

It may not be the Microsoft Courier or Apple Tablet, but GottaBeMobile’s Xavier reckons the Hanvon is a pretty slick-looking device. The 8.9-inch multitouch screen supports gestures, and would be great to watch movies or fool about online.

The prototype was shown at the Intel Developer’s Forum last week, so it probably has an Atom processor of some description. As you’ll see in the video, it also has two USB ports, audio in/out and an SD card slot. Hopefully the final version will be cheaper than the roughly $US500 Archos 9. [GottaBeMobile via Slashgear]
