INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
If you've been itching to get your hands on the brand new Pixel Slate from Google then you're probably very keen to hear when it's actually
While the Chrome OS tablet has been announced, interested punters can only join a waiting list for now.That could be about to change,
because the Pixel Slate has arrived at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the regulatory body charged with approving all gadgets
in the US before they hit stores
Pending regulatory approval is one of the reasons that Google hasn't been able to start selling the tablet yet.With the device already
announced, the filing doesn't have anything new to reveal, but it's a sign that the Pixel Slate will be on sale soon
of which still means we're waiting on a specific on-sale date
Most sources suggest Google will try and get the slate available for Black Friday (November 23), which makes a lot of sense
It may end up arriving even earlier than that though.In our early hands-on review of the device, we described it as both "simply gorgeous"
and "perplexing", a tablet with a lot going for it but a few question marks over its performance
Even at the lowest configuration, the Pixel Slate is going to set you back a big chunk of cash, but we'll have to wait for a full review to
decide whether it's worth the outlay.What seems certain is that Chrome OS tablets with Android apps running on top are the future, with pure
Android tablets largely relegated to the past
