Meg Changes HP's Mind...Sorta

[maxximilian]

HP on Thursday announced that it no longer plans to get rid of its PC division, but what about webOS? New CEO Meg Whitman promised to have a decision on the troubled mobile operating system within a few months.

She also stressed that tablets are still important to HP, but don't expect an HP TouchPad 2. Whitman focused instead on the production of Windows 8-based tablets with Microsoft.

"I think we need to be in the tablet business, and we're certainly going to be there with Windows 8," Whitman said during a conference call with analysts. "We're going to make a run at this [tablet] business."

As for webOS, HP will likely have a decision "in the next couple of months," she said.

I love all these companies that make off the cuff decisions and then say ... ''hmmm, might not have been a good idea''
