I don't think HP is throwing the towel, just not putting all eggs in a single basket. They know now how big a challenge is to turn it around on the tablet market. Cloud's the thing now so they're also getting into it.

Yeah, they're also selling off their PC division and buying Autonomy (records management industry leader from the UK) for $10 billion. Overpriced IMHO.

I'd rather see them come out brandishing the Palm brand, and acquiring Fon, and then going after a "home cloud" machine. We could use the "unlimited" home connections we already pay for that are often pretty good (<40ms latency, at least 2mbps up). Handling the home-router firewall in a simplistic way seems to be the best way forward.
