HP abandons webOS device, analysts say

Lead: Tom KRAZT Krazit, a technology blogger, wrote in Moconews, a blog site, last month that 18th, Hewlett-Packard announced that it would abandon the operation of its webOS device and consider stripping its PC business.　　This series of decisions casts a shadow over the future of webOS, and the authors make a simple analysis of the reasons for this. The following is the full text of the article: recently HP's life is not easy. It may not be a good idea to watch a tech company like this grow mad about the future, but perhaps its rivals won't. HP is now phasing out its mobile phone business, a business that looks hard to carry out, although HP has been trying to convince users that it is a truly valuable business. Since HP's mobile phone business is going to be history, that with, hair.　　More and more people are beginning to worry about the future of webOS, its developers and potential partners. Hewlett-Packard's CEO, Leo Apotheker, is not a responsive manager, but he has established a tough style of work during the transition to the SAP leadership of global business software vendors. That being the case, why is HP making a mess in this mobile phone business strategy adjustment? In my opinion, HP's mobile hardware department apparently didn't know until the company announced it was abandoning its tablet business.　　So until the day the company announced the strategic adjustment, Stephen Dewitt, the head of webOS, confusing, because he had also said in the near future that HP would make a big move in the handset business. So let's muster the courage to look at the reality of webOS. Although webOS is the "darling" of the critics, HP has given up webOS not because it is a mobile operating system, but because no one can offer a viable option to demonstrate the functionality of the webOS. First is palm, when HP tried to convince wireless carriers and consumers that webOS was a competitor to Apple's iOS. But according to the latest data released by Nielsen, a market research firm, webOS's use of smartphones is also at a disadvantage compared with Windows Mobile, which has also been abandoned by Microsoft.　　The only way HP can reverse webOS's decline is by selling touchpad at low prices that are unimaginable. HP is now wary of using its mobile-phone assets because it is a corporate software company.　　But a series of decisions made by HP in August have done serious damage to webOS. Here's my simple analysis: Despite the market's poor response to HP's Touchpad tablet and veer, HP's abandonment of its mobile phone business and its tablet computer has disrupted contact between webOS developers and consumers. Even if HP Touchpad flat-panel powerBrain clearing sales are unusually hot, but now that the webOS is abandoned, its developers will never have the user base they need to develop. Why is it that no one is going to invest in mobile strategy on webOS? Because it requires at least a complete hardware team to ensure that its future products are sold.　　The temporary resumption of the Touchpad tablet line earlier this week looked more like a rush to use the last remaining parts than a positive response to touchpad fans. -HP could have used Google's takeover of Motorola Mobile as a potential patent dispute to boost webOS as a successor to Google's Android operating system. But after Google announced it was spending 12.5 billion of dollars to buy Motorola Mobility, Hewlett-Packard also announced it was abandoning the operation of its webOS device. So it's hard to find businesses willing to take on webOS and tailor their hardware, because they say: "Even HP, the world's biggest hardware maker, is not going to touch the hot potato again. "– whether it is selling webOS or webOS licenses, many buyers are afraid to take the plunge because there is a webOS license, and they find that a lot of businesses are holding the same thing six months later.　　There is also the question of why choose an unpopular webOS when a merchant has a choice of Android and Windows Phone 7 licenses, unless a merchant buys webOS for patent disputes. In fact, the most vexing problem in the last two weeks is that Hewlett-Packard announced the cessation of the business just six weeks after the touchpad sale, which has also surprised its partners and consumers. Announcing the HP restructuring decision in a conference call, Apotheker said HP valued webOS and said it would explore how to optimize the value of webOS and move it forward.　　But it seems that Apotheker has been exploring the direction of webOS before the touchpad sale. There are actually some businesses that are suitable to buy webOS or webOS licenses. But it is hard to imagine that HP has failed to reach an agreement with any of them, and has finally made a decision to get webOS into a self-destructive situation. At present, webOS is in a difficult situation, fraught with uncertainty and doubt.　　Over the past year, as smartphones have boomed, patent prices for smartphones have gone up, and buyers of HP's patent-phone patents may be on the market, perhaps in some deals on webOS's operating system. But if webOS's way out of the industry remains the subject of concern, the decisions that HP has made over the past two weeks have had little benefit for themselves. (Puma) to share:
