HP ceases to market the phones and tablets based on the operating system WebOS - Palm's heritage, which it acquired last year
HP decided to stop selling the devices WebOS inherited from Palm, which it acquired a year ago - are a series of cell phones and tablet PCs Pre Series TouchPad. It is unclear what will happen to the WebOS operating system itself - in the past wanted HP to put her on her personal computer as a secondary, but now this may not happen at all. The order is part of a broader message, which prepares the ground for a split personal computer division of the company from HP and its transformation into a separate business. At the same time, HP announced that it enters acquisition talks with Autonomy Corporation - maker of business software giant. This makes HP a step further about going consumer market. Like IBM decades ago, so HP today trying to make a player that works with organizations. And even though she's largest personal computer manufacturer in the world, her attempts to get into new consumer markets - cell phones and tablets (through the acquisition of Palm) are considered failures. Thus, it was reported a few days ago Wall Street Journal, that the Touchpad tablet of 250 000 U.S. chain Best Buy ordered, people were able to sell only one-tenth. While the Pre, who was one of the hot declarations of CES two years ago and a half, could not create a significant market share in any country where launched.
