This device looks like a real game changer for HP.
A real challenger to IPAD mini. Even the looks are identical, imagine the HP Logo as the home button on IPAD mini. If they manufacture a white device people are sure to get confused at the first look.
On a more serious note, it may not match the retina display of the new mini, but has a far better resolution that that of non-retina mini. The processor seems to be one of the best available as of today. Specification wise the device seems to be a winner.
The few cons I can see is, the HP Germany site says that it has only 1 GB RAM. Though not bad, but can make HP fall behind competition. Also in my knowledge this is a first 4:3 android device by some premium manufacturer. Hence the availability of apps for this resolution might be challenge.
Hope HP keeps the cost down as they did for the slate 7.
