HP Stops Selling and Supporting Their ... - Business PR News

At a Chamber of Commerce function yesterday, word was going around that HP tablets were all sold out everywhere at $99.? The reason, I was told by those who knew more about it, is that HP has stopped selling and supporting their consumer products. ?They're moving their focus to business products, like IBM did 6 years ago. ?For more information, see the news below. ?

Based on what these news links are telling us, this will happen in stages. ?HP's tablet just came out not too long ago and at $99, were sold out everywhere, including on the?HP website. ? Their PC products will eventually be sold to another company under a different brand name, according to these news links below.

This is a blow to many people who just bought their laptops and the brand new HP tablet at full price and to retailers who bought a shipload of their consumer products before the news came out.
