HP Pico-Projector Notebook Coming; More Slate Tablet PCs

Pico-projectors continue to weasel their way into other gadgets, and next up could be the humble laptop.  According to Monty Wong, vice president and manager of personal computing systems group at HP Taiwan, HP are planning to release a pico-projector equipped notebook that would likely have the projection module where normally the webcam is positioned.

Otherwise specifications for the notebook are unknown.  ASUS showed off a concept projector-notebook back in mid-2008 but it never transitioned over into a production model.  Meanwhile Wong also revealed that HP plan to focus on slate-format Tablet PCs in the coming months; one such example was featured in Microsoft's CES 2010 keynote.
