Rumors say, that HP had stopped development of the Slate and killed off the project entirely. According to the rumors, HP isn’t thrilled with Windows 7’s performance on the tablet. Something I can not believe in, since netbook users know, that Win7 does perform well on low-end hardware.

The Slate was officially unveiled in January had a rumored price of $549, and was supposedly launching in June.

So far there isn’t an official statement from HP.
