HP Makeover throw away mobile phone computer

This newspaper (reporter Sun Suyi) PC (personal computer) is dead, at least HP thinks so. HP, the world's biggest PC maker and hardware maker, has made a stunning decision this time. Beijing time yesterday, Hewlett-Packard announced its decision to terminate its webOS smartphone and Tablet PC business, focusing on software research.　　Hewlett-Packard also said the company is also studying the sale of PCs.　　The US Times Magazine commented that HP ushered in a "dramatic shuffle" and the biggest "makeover" of the company in its 72-year history. Hewlett-Packard said in its official statement that it has not completely abandoned webOS and will continue to develop software, but henceforth, it will terminate the operation of webOS equipment.　　This means that Hewlett-Packard sentenced the 2-month-old touchpad tablet computer to the "death penalty", according to the original plan, touchpad will be landing in the Chinese market this fall. HP's abandonment of the Touchpad Tablet PC and smartphone business has not yet been listed at home, so the direct impact on domestic users is small.　　But HP's imminent break-up of the PC business will involve tens of millions of of the country's users.　　While HP says plans to split the PC business are still under development, from the current situation, HP is likely to be like IBM to the PC business to Lenovo, but also its own PC and other hardware business subcontract to other suppliers, of which HTC, Samsung have been seen as the industry's most likely to the buyers. HP's move is not at present a bullish investment agency. Yesterday, Standard Poole downgraded HP and its affiliates ' corporate credit ratings and priority unsecured ratings from A to "A-1" and included a negative watch list. The PC business, despite its low profit margins, is the highest-earning business for HP, according to the ratings analyst.　　While it would be wise to divest the business for a long time, the financial impact on HP in the short term would be huge. Hewlett-Packard announced yesterday that it would buy all the shares of Autonomy, the UK software company, at a price of 25.50 pounds (about $42) per share at the same time that HP announced it was abandoning its webOS system and splitting its PC business.　　Industry insiders analysis, the acquisition may be HP into the Internet service market, an important move. Autonomy is the second largest software company in the UK, including Coca-Cola, Nestle and the Securities and Futures Commission and many other well-known companies. Hewlett-Packard's 42-dollar purchase price, which is more than Autonomy's normal share price premium of 64%, and the total value of the deal to $10 billion, can see HP's determination to enter the field.　　It is reported that the transaction will be completed by the end of the transaction will be paid in cash. Reporter Notes "cake" although the big "chair" limited whether it is webOS smartphone, or touchpad tablet, before the listing has been HP as a tool to seize the smart market. Hewlett-Packard once counted on them to work with Apple, Google, a higher, but now he is defeated.　　But just two days ago, the 35 internet maker from Fujian made a high-profile announcement in Beijing that it would launch a 35Pad Tablet PC and 35Phone, formally joining the smart product group battle. Global tablet shipments grew by 70% in the second quarter of 2011 and smartphones grew by nearly 10%, according to Analysys International data. In the face of such an attractive "cake", countless IT companies like 35 interconnected, a plunge in, but really can eat a big mouth is rare. "Apple's iOS system and Android have successfully segmented the smart product market, and it's hard for others to make a difference." "Branch network CEO loadings once thought, intelligent product" cake "although big, but around can put under the" chair "but a handful, want to eat cake is not easy.
