HP remains interested in the tablet market
Todd Bradley, head of the just-folded Printing and Personal Systems Group device manufacturer HP wants to set up in his area of responsibility, a new department that will take care of "consumer tablet" and to "further market segments and product categories", the one at HP's assessment "differentiated value for customers "offer. As the magazine TheVerge commented smugly, the thrust is almost exactly a year after HP has withdrawn its iPad competitor TouchPad off the market and sold off its remaining stock of the device, and soon after the group the underlying operating system WebOS as a Community Edition, the open source had issued community.
Head of the new department will be Alberto Torres, who had once directed the fortunes of the system at Nokia MeeGo. As under the new Nokia CEO Stephen Elop very hosted on Windows Phone, Torres took his leave with the Finns. We can now look forward to seeing how the new HP strategist will set the course for the consumer business of the Group. While HP's unannounced tablet business is rumored to focus on Windows 8, a Microsoft platform for future consumer devices under the aegis of Torres appears less obvious. Rather, one could imagine that HP will resurrect the remains of WebOS. Just a few days ago they had transferred this task to a newly formed, fully HP-Gram own company.
