Hey HP.

Let me wrap my head around something.

You killed off the TouchPad — perhaps the most interesting iPad competitor — because it wasn’t selling well and everyone was confused as to what HP was doing.

Now though (in light of all that confusion passing?), you launch a brand new HP Slate — the same type of device that Ballmer famously tried to upstage the iPad with (before the iPad launched)?

That just seems silly.

Surely this is all a joke, right?
