Engadget has managed to get a hold of an internal Hewlett Packard document that directly compares the HP Slate tablet to Apple’s iPad.
HP gives itself the advantage for having pen support, a 1.6GHz CPU (Atom Z530), 1080p graphics acceleration, built-in expandability, and two cameras but acknowledges that Apple has the edge when it …
