HP’s most innovative had already been long gone by the time Hurd left, but bringing in a guy who has a tilt towards SaaS but hasn’t written a line of code and can’t tell time flees all common sense >>> remember his quip in January 2011 about HP not announcing products it was not yet ready to release? The new webOS line was ANNOUNCED Feb 9, but the first device was RELEASED May 15th. Get rid of this guy already. If they see it coming from so far away they will wonder why they should hope on it when is released, if ever. Meanwhile, Apple announces something one day and it may take 2-3 weeks tops for it to be released. Apotheker, go away …

Promote Bradley, restart TouchPad assembly with new lower price point to push market share initially (market has shown it will jump on them for the right price) next year for TouchPad 2 improve hardware and raise price to give yourself some margin once you have an install base and people invested in the platform. Don’t spin off the PC division.

1) Fire Apotheker, and hire somebody who wants to run HP as it is, and take advantage of the assets they have.

2) Fire the board. They have made one giant mistake after another. They have no business overseeing this company.
