Last February’s Mobile World Congress showcased the gadgets that were expected to hit the markets this year. One eagerly awaited device was HP’s Slate 7. At the time, the Slate 7 was scheduled to be rolled-out in April, but we’re already more than halfway through the month and still no sign of the tablet. Or so we thought.

HP has announced that the Slate 7 Android tablet will soon be hitting UK shelves on May 1 and will cost about £129. This is undeniably welcome news, assuaging concerns that the tablet’s release would be postponed until June.

With computer sales still plunging, HP knows how important it is to be ensconced firmly in the tablet arena. HP is hoping that the entry level Slate 7 will become more popular than the TouchPad, the company’s previous offering. Analysts are expecting the 7” tablet to be at loggerheads with Amazon’s Kindle Fire since both have almost the same price, has the same screen size and resolution.

The Slate 7 runs on the Jelly Bean 4.1 so more apps and content can be downloaded from Google Play. The tablet has a 1,024 x 600 resolution, Beats Audio, 3mp front camera and a 3mp rear camera. It will be powered by a 1.6Ghz Cortex A9 dual-core processor, 1GB RAM and 8GB of storage that can be expanded to 32GB via a microSD card.

Motor City now has something to be proud of. Local automaker Detroit Electric recently unveiled the city’s first-ever pure electric sports car, the Sp:01.

Today, several car manufacturers are aiming for alternative means to reduce fuel consumption or promote the use of electricity. The energy-saving trend has also been adopted by the latest sports automobiles. The SP:01 is a sports EV that boasts of 201 bhp (150kW), 166 lb-ft torque electric motor that produces a top speed of 155mph, 0-62mph in just 3.7 seconds.

Staying true to its “Pure Electric Excitement” mantra, the SP:01 doesn’t only presents an efficient electric motor. The 2-seater sports EV has a custom-made body in order to provide a more energy efficient ride. The exterior is made of carbon-fibre material (similar to what is currently used in F1 racing cars) while its battery unit is made of lightweight material giving it a leaner body at just 2,354 lb. Handling is also not a problem with the SP:01. Detroit Electric provides its with first-class suspension, steering and brakes to give its customers security and enjoyment while riding this beast.

For geeky car enthusiasts, the SP:01 also provides state-of-the-art infotainment system. The electric sports car utilizes “SAMI” (Smartphone Application Managed Infotainment system) allowing car owners to use their smartphones to control in-car features like music player, interior lighting, vehicle system status, satellite navigation, climate control and even has a car locator functionality.

However, charging time could be a deal breaker to some since the SP:01 takes longer than similar models at 4.3 hours on a 240V outlet. On the other hand, this is a small price to pay considering that it can run up to 180 miles with just a single charge and not consuming a single drop of fuel!

Only 999 units will be produced by August of this year with a price tag of $ 135,000 apiece. The purchase includes a 30,000 mile warranty.
