The HP Slate 8, which will be marketed at the business sector, could be the first portable device to run the next generation Microsoft operating system. HP&amp;#039;s upcoming tablet is expected to offer between eight and ten hours of battery life, and feature encryption, virtualisation, PC management and domain connectivity, ZDNet reports. The HP Slate 8 will measure in at 10.1 inches, with a width of 9.2mm, and a weight of .68 kg (1.5 pounds). It is being touted as the successor to the HP Slate 2 Windows business slate, released late last year. Additional features listed include &amp;quot;enterprise-level docking&amp;quot; and both multi-touch and stylus support. The tablet will run the Windows 8 Professional version of the OS, which Microsoft detailed earlier this month.
