Tablet computers and mobile phones using Microsoft's Windows 7
Devin Connors blog author from the site Tom's Hardware did not agree with Miller's view.
"This tool uses Windows 7 and very good. Everyone likes Windows 7 operating system," Connors said.
He says combining Windows 7 to the portable device may be encouraging consumers trooped purchase this product.
Lonely reaction to this product may be caused by speculation that Apple will announce a similar product this month.
In recent weeks, internet rang with speculation that Apple products mentioned are named iSlate.
"Apple-made product will generally change the map of competition in the market and there is nothing remarkable about the Microsoft and HP products," said Dean Takahashi of VentureBeat.com technology blog.
"Is this product will be successful? It all depends with HP's effort to make these devices attractive. Remember HP is the largest technology companies in the world," said Takahashi.
This is not the first tablet computer that Microsoft introduced.
In 2002, the largest software companies in the world launched a tablet computer with Windows XP operating system. However, this product is considered failed.
