Comments on: Inventec Lands Large HP Tablet Order
Additional details from the article center around HP's lofty sales aspirations for their first-generation TouchPads, with CENS reporting that HP's 2011 tablet order from Inventec is estimated to be three million units, with monthly production hitting 400,000 to 450,000 units.
With Apple currently focusing solely on the existing 9.7" iPad form-factor and Google electing at the present to only outfit tablets with screen sizes 8.9" or larger with its latest Honeycomb OS, the 7" tablet market has considerably fewer cutting-edge devices and competition. 7" tablets are less well-representation in most retail outlets versus the larger tablets in the 10" screen size range, so HP could potentially stand to capture a larger piece of the market share if they can speedily bring a smaller and more affordable Touchpad to market.

RE: Burn the Bezel
In contrast a phone, unlike a tablet, can be completely held in one hand therefore making large bezels unecessary.

Burn the Bezel
Apple is doing it on 2 sides of the iPhone. HTC and others are catching on. This design rant has been ongoing for almost a decade now. So suprise us HP and give people what they want.
Tablets have almost no reason for wasted bezel space. It needs to go the way of the wasted space around keyboards, CRTs, & LCDs that ate deskspace needlessly for years.
