HP Tablet Products Dissapointed

HP Tablet Products Dissapointed:I’m still kind of shocked about Hewlett-Packard Co.’s decision to exit the smartphone and paper arena.It’s unclear as to what will happen to its computer business, as a separate company for personal is being considered. Then its focus would be on helping customers manage information, along with printing, servers, storage and a few other services. But even that forward-looking explanation is a tiny murky.HP’s declaration came with a lot of huge words being tossed about, such as “strategic alternatives” and “application ecosystems.”As you read further into the announcement, you’ll run crossways “exploration of the separation.”The one thing I do comprehend is that all the transactions should be complete in about 12-18 months.As for the other explanations, the ideal I can figure is that when the going got tough in the smartphone and paper market, the tough got gone.Only weeks ago …
I’m going to miss HP being around in the smartphone and HP Tablet market. It was only a few weeks ago that I was praising the HP Veer smartphone, an offshoot of HP’s acquisition of Palm, where it got its hands on the webOS technology that powering the Palm Pre devices.
I was looking forward to the next generation of a webOS smartphone and hoping for a larger device.But maybe HP will continue development of the webOS technology and license it to other vendors or use it in other applications.I like webOS and it’s too good to just toss by the wayside. Then you have all the Palm smartphones fans that were seeing signs of life for that brand.The Palm Pre 3, a successor to the Palm Pre 2, was supposed to show up this summer. But now it might be too far back in the pipeline to make a debut and if it does, what’s the point.It’s dead in the water on arrival, as app development for the HP smartphones and HP Tablet will probably come to a halt.That’s a shame and a real blow to all the Palm fans
