While the blogosphere’s attention has been turned toward the upcoming WebOS Slate from HP, it looks like the company might be getting ready to launch a Windows 7 powered tablet. A device called the HP Slate 500 has started appearing on some HP web sites.

There aren’t a lot of details, but here’s what we know about the HP Slate 500 so far:

* It has an 8.9 inch display
* The slate runs Windows 7 Home Premium
* There are two cameras for shooting photos or video and web conferencing
* It will have a 1.6GHz unspecified processor (probably Intel Atom)

The HP Slate 500 will also reportedly support pen input — although it’s not clear at this point whether that means it has an active digitizer, a resistive touchscreen or some other form of touch input.

It looks like there will be at least 8 different configurations, but it’s not clear what differences will exist between these models.
