HP's CTO announces Flash Player running on HP's upcoming Slate tablet
Since 85% of Alexa top 100 websites use Flash, and 75% of all video on the web is Flash, having the Flash Player on a tablet is the only way to experience the true web.
Phil McKinney, VP and CTO of Hewlett-Packard's Personal Systems Group posted the following on a HP blog: "With this slate product, you’re getting a full Web browsing experience in the palm of your hand. No watered-down Internet, no sacrifices. We just posted a quick video showing some more of what that’s like as well as how the slate device will work as an eBook reader. Enjoy the short clip (and the techno soundtrack)."
