At WDC 2010 in Washington DC, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer confirmed that Windows 7 slates will be arriving sometime this year.

These devices would be in “various price points and in a variety of form factors”. You can see in the picture the many companies like Toshiba represented there, and HP has been long rumored. I think that Slate deal didn’t work out.

Considering all the tablets that have surfaced just this year, this really shouldn’t come as any surprise.
