Today news about HP webOS and the spin-off or not of the PSG:
HP webOS:
The company is also developing another facet of mobility, WebOS. Despite closing down its TouchPad tablet business earlier this year, HP continues to work on a better business model around the mobile operating system, said DiFranco.
HP PSG:
“The organization you know as PSG will continue, whether that’s somewhat independent or completely within HP,” said Stephen DiFranco, senior vice president and general manager, PSG, Americas, at HP, during a keynote. “I need a few more weeks of your patience. As soon as we know, you’ll know.”
Former eBay executive Meg Whitman, who joined HP as chairwoman in September, has said she wants to decide PSG’s next path by the end of October. As part of that process, HP is reviewing the factors that have made it the world’s largest buyer of hard drives, memory, disk drives and other computer components, DiFranco said.
As the company considers PSG’s future, HP’s resources are also centered on new products, categories and strategies designed to help solution providers continue selling the brand into enterprise and SMB accounts.
“The things I’m really focused on are making sure we’re focusing on bringing products to consumers, commercial and SMBs,” DiFranco told Channel Insider.
One over-reaching theme is to brand HP consistently so buyers—both corporate and consumer—are better aware of the HP name and the full range of the vendor’s varied and expansive product line, he said. Apple, for example, has done a good job of making its products immediately recognizable among other vendors’ offerings, said DiFranco.
“HP wants to do the same,” he said.
We are five days away from the end of October 2011. What would be the final decisions about webOS and HP PSG ? We will let you know as soon as we have the news on.
