HP Slate 6 and Slate 7 VoiceTab phablets appear in press photo, release date tipped for next month
HP Slate 6 (up) and Slate 7 (down) VoiceTabs
Tiny is not a word you can use to describe HP's foray into the entry level phablet segment, however, as one of these carries a 6” screen, and the other a 7” one. Still, the VoiceTab moniker indicates they can be used for calls, supposedly including the 7-incher.
We also dug out references to the HP Slate 6 VoiceTab on Zauba, the Indian import database, which show that the launch is not far away, and our source indeed tipped us that the release of HP's affordable phablets is happening as soon as next month.
The huge "handsets" are expected to carry 720p screens, and come powered by 1 GHz quad-core Marvell chipsets, which warrants their low $200-$250 price range.
