HP Photosmart eStation

The Photosmart eStation is HP’s foray into the slate market that already has the OptusTab, Telstra’s T-hub, Apple’s iPad and Samsung’s Galaxy Tab – but with a marked difference – the slate comes attached to a printer.

The Photosmart eStation is HP’s foray into the slate market that already has the OptusTab, Telstra’s T-hub, Apple’s iPad and Samsung’s Galaxy Tab – but with a marked difference – the slate comes attached to a printer.

It’s a full color touchscreen and is not dissimilar in look and feel to other purpose built tabs on the market. It doesn’t power games but it has a full media player for your favourite TV and movies.

The tablet is wi-fi so users can surf the web, drop in on all your favourite news sites, check out the weather, and of course you can check your Facebook. It also comes with Barnes and Nobles eBookstore which has more than a million titles to access.

It is powered by Yahoo and if you have a Yahoo account, all your mail and messenger are available. The tablet enables you to print this content and anything else from anywhere in your home or office. There are HP printing apps that make it easy to print maps, books, web pages – whatever it may be.

And just to add to its feature list, it is also a scanner and copier and it lets you send a fax without the need for a phoneline.
