Review of fox news for android::What is the best source for fact based news.
Hewlett-Packard CEO Meg Whitman announced on Fox Business News, that she has directed that the company will make a Smartphone, a first for the company since the failure of the Palm, which the company purchased in 2010. Syndicated columnist Jeremy Owens in commenting on the announcement says move was expected as HP is still currently the largest maker of computers in the world, and it not having a smartphone has created a vacuum in the market that has been filled first by Apple and then by Samsung and other Asian companies. Whitman declined to offer a timetable for the phone, or to divulge whether the company has already begun work on it, or even which operating system it might run. The Palm of course ran a proprietary OS that HP eventually gave away as an open source program that nobody really wanted. She added that it was time for the company to build and sell a smartphone noting that many people in the world now use their phone instead of a regular computer, which currently leaves them out as a customer. She noted also that building a smartphone should help the bottom line which she acknowledged was less than expected in the past quarter as sales of both PCs and printers has been falling. Owens noted that it's possible that HP would run webOS, which it still technically owns, though he also notes that HP has a historically strong relationship with Microsoft which will almost certainly push HP to run its portable version of windows on its new phone. HP hasn't been doing very well, he adds, for several years, despite still being the world's largest maker of computers. Sales of PCs have been declining for nearly five years in a row and HP has lost ground to server systems to IBM and Dell. One bright spot has been an uptick in sales of ultrabooks, which are essentially a combination laptop-tablet computer that run traditional desktop operating systems. HP hasn't yet, he says, decided whether to dedicate itself to making tablet computers but the announcement that the company will begin making and selling a line of smartphones pretty much guarantees it, as both would run the same OS and apps, ala Apple and Android handhelds. What's less clear of course is how successful a phone from HP would be, late as the company is in joining the smartphone party. Both the iPhone and those running Android are very well established and thus, HP will have to offer a very compelling reason for users to switch, something HP hasn't demonstrated in any product for a very long time. |
