Dell earlier this week announced plans to offer a business-ready Windows 7 tablet with a 10-inch screen later this year. Whether or not Windows 7 in its current form is a suitable operating system for tablets remains to be seen. HP last year waffled between offering a Slate tablet running Windows 7 and putting out its own webOS device. It finally committed to webOS. Shortly afterward, it said it would put out a Windows 7 tablet for the enterprise. The webOS promise came to fruition this week with the TouchPad; the Windows 7 tablet came in October with the Slate 500.
