HP Slate 2: Brilliant or Bust?

First time accepted submitter redletterdave writes "After being introduced in September, HP's new CEO Meg Whitman announced Oct. 27 that the company 'needs to be in the tablet business.' However, by creating a lackluster product in the Slate 2 that runs on a soon-to-be-outdated operating system, HP will surely find itself back where it started, when furious Best Buy executives demanded HP to take back their thousands of unsold tablets piling up in storage."

Need to be in the tablet business

After being introduced in September, HP's new CEO Meg Whitman announced Oct. 27 that the company 'needs to be in the tablet business.'

Maybe they should buy WebOS - I heard that the company that owns it wants to get out of the tablet business.

Brilliant business decision

Meg Whitman is just continuing her drive to make eBay successful.

HP could die tomorrow, but LaserJet 4s will be printing until the Sun burns out.

Sun burned out on January 27, 2010...
