According to apcmag.com, “a senior Samsung executive has confirmed that the company will release a ‘Slate’ PC in the second half of this year.”

The aforementioned executive is the director of Samsung Australia’s IT division. He says that the slate will feature “PC-grade processing power,” according to the site.

They also state that the device would have a clear focus on the consumer market. Sounds to me like we won’t be looking at computer with a Windows OS. It’ll likely be an X86 device based on the “PC-grade processing power” quote, which leads me to thing that it could run Meego, but there is always the possibility of it being Moorestown based.

Samsung is no stranger to the slate field. They have several slate UMPCs from the original Q1 through the Q1EX. Maybe if we’re lucky, we’ll see a sweet Moorestown based Mondi-like device.

Nice find Jkk.
