Digital Home Thoughts: Watching the WePad in Action!

WePad had a press release in Germany featuring a slate computer, the WePad. It comes with an Atom CPU, and all the usual ports you would normally see on a netbook, including a SIM card slot. Watching the video, it appears to perform at the normal rate any other netbook does, which is hardly a surprise. What many might find tiring is that with the weight and width of the device, it may not be comfortable for extended one handed operation. In portait mode, that might fair better, but slates really should be at a pound or less to be extremely comfortable to use.
