Tue, 20 Jul 2010 18:15:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (gmlongo) Comments I liked "Slate" better http://www.osnews.com/thread?434093 http://www.osnews.com/thread?434093 That's too bad. The term "slate" has been starting to catch on in the CS rags as a general term. I'm not as fond of the term "pad".

That being said, the name is nearly as bad (or perhaps equally so) as iPad.

If they really hit a 3Q release it will be smack in the middle of hurricane season, inviting rather unpleasant associations.

It is clear you and I search for different things on Amazon...

We need to make it clearer what, in news announcements, is the wording of OSnews editors and submitters, and what has been borrowed from elsewhere, in which case, a proper quoting is required. If the submitter wrote the thing elsewhere and brings it to our attention, it also needs to be clear.

There is a lot of ripping, stealing, deceitful quoting on the web these days, we don't need to add to that pile. Just some thoughts.

They were the original popularizers of the whole hand held computer anyway. Seems a fitting moniker.
