HP laid a huge egg with their attempt at a tablet using their own OS instead of Android 4.

They may have laid an even bigger egg by flushing their tablet inventory at sub-$200 prices, and playing stop and go with their PC business. I still can't figure out what the last chairman (Apotheker) was thinking.

“I still can’t figure out what the last chairman (Apotheker) was thinking.”

He was a software CEO and thought he could remake HP into a software company and drop the hardware.
This is like GM deciding to build planes.

The hard drive shortage can’t have helped anything.
