Sure, the HP Slate may be relegated to the enterprise market, buy why not consider the UMPC891 tablet from Shenzhen Sinchun Electronic Co., Ltd. instead?

This tablet has an 8.9” TFT LCD touch screen with a 1024 x 600 resolution, and it’s powered by an Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz processor.  Other specs include up to 2GB of RAM, Intel GMA950 graphics, up to a 250GB SSD, 802.11 b/g WiFi, 10/100 Ethernet, 1.3MP camera, 3 USB ports, VGA out, SD/MMC multicard slot, and Bluetooth.

The UMPC891’s user manual shows the device running Windows XP, but we’d guess that the device can be upgraded to the slightly more tablet friendly Windows 7.  The device measures 9.8” x 6.6” x 0.84” and weighs 2.2 pounds – not bad for a tablet.

Sure, Shenzhen Sinchun Electronic Co doesn’t exactly have the brand recognition of HP, but hey, at this point you don’t have many other options.  It’s not a bad looking device either – it actually reminds us a bit of a large iPhone 1G.

No word on pricing or a release date, but the device did pass through the FCC today, so an appearance in some form in the United States isn’t out of the question.
