http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/04/hp-slate-7-uk-04-17-13-03_620x340.jpgAfter concern about a slipped shipping date proved erroneous (http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/29/hp-slate-7-delayed-until-june/), HP's Android-packingSlate 7 (http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/24/hp-slate-7-hands-on/) has popped up at the company's UK store with a £129 price tag and a promise of availability on May 1st. That's pretty much in line with the date originally scheduled for the 7-inch, 1,024 x 600, 1GB RAM, dual-core A9 Jelly Bean device, though the VAT brings the price up to roughly $200, while HP said would it be $170 in the US before taxes. There's no word yet on exactly when you'll be able to grab the Slate 7 stateside, but HP's US site (at the More Coverage link) is still saying April (http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/24/hp-slate-7-android-tablet-rocks-beats-169-price-tag-due-out-i/). Meanwhile, Brits can pre-order at the source link.
