When HP bought Palm and revealed plans for webOS-powered slate devices this spring, word on the web was that HP had quietly euthanized its Windows 7 slate. Evidence now points to the contrary. Kind of. Engadget has been told by HP itself that the Windows-powered slate is “still very much in the works.” Confirmation came [...]

The Xbox 360′s new Kinect motion controller has all sorts of potential. Unfortunately, it also has some limitations, at least for now. Microsoft is still calibrating the system for seated play, and it hasn’t confirmed whether gamers will be forced to stand when the controller launches later this year.
After the unveiling of the new Microsoft “kinect”(aka, project Natal) controller for the xbox 360 at the E3 conference recently, the pricing of the new device has been kept a secret, even though, an early autumn release is promised.
