HP says they're getting ready to spin off or sell their PC division. According to this article that would be mean the new company or the acquiring company would:
- Be the #1 PC manufacturer
- Be the #2 tablet manufacturer
- Have a 1 million installed base for WebOS
- Have taken 1 million customers away from their competitors who at least in the Android space seem to be struggling a bit<p>That's a pretty compelling story especially if this new entity can capitalize on it with more management and sales autonomy, focus, and agility. I'm not saying everything about this strategic change is pretty, but I'd wait before calling this a failure.
