It 's not a rumor, but self senior director of Consumer PC Tablets and Asia Pacific, when asked by the market smartphone . The executive replied that the company is working on new advanced mobiles, but that dates or any details could not yet be given.
Going back a few years, you could see how the North American Hewlett Packard (HP) took over the missing Palm. What's more, it appropriated the latest operating system, webOS, to insert into various smart phones, including a tablet called the HP TouchPad. However, the attempt to scratch some market share stayed at that, an attempt. Months after the purchase, HP left the project to focus on other markets where it continues to grow: laptops, all-in-one or "All-in-One" computers, and more recently, with Windows 8- based tablets.
However, after some questions from the specialized press, the senior director of Tablets and Consumer PCs for Asia and the Pacific, Yam Su Yin, stated that the company was working on a mobile terminal: «The answer is yes, but I cannot give a specific date. It would be foolish if we say no. HP has to be in the game. So forceful were the manager's words.
But here the words of the HP manager were not left. He continued with his speech and wanted to clarify even more: «Arriving late you have to create a different proposal. There are still things that can be done and it is not too late. When HP has a smartphone, it will be accompanied by a differentiated experience. " Here they concluded the optimistic statements by Yam Su Yin regarding the immediate future of the company.
And the company knows that the smartphone market is one of the most succulent for manufacturers. What's more, the consultancy IDC predicts that the smart mobile market will continue to grow this year and that sales will grow 32.7 percent, year after year.
What's more, from The Indian EXPRESS newspaper they point out that the intentions to re-enter the smart mobile sector are to compete directly with two tough nuts to crack: Samsung and Apple, which together have more than 50 percent share market all over the world. On the other hand, it remains to be seen whether the new equipment will finally go on sale around the world, or will only be focused on some markets such as Asia.
Also, HP recently presented more desktop computers for consumption and even dared to launch an affordable seven-inch Android tablet capable of competing with other powerful brands in the sector. This model is the HP Slate 7, with a dual-core processor, three-megapixel camera, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean installed, and most importantly: a sale price of 150 euros.
