This is very a interesting and, to me, compelling vision that HP is offering. Shift your view of what these gadgets (PC's, phones, tablets, etc.) are. They are not computing or communications devices, they are access devices. Devices can simply be ways of interacting with your data or with other people. Different form factors, tailored for different tasks: handhelds for talking & while on the move, tablets for reading or while lounging around, desktop terminals for focus while you're at work.
This future is attractive to me. I don't want to have to worry about where my data is. I don't know if HP can pull it off, but I hope they show some commitement and give it a good try.
Agreed. HP is pretty behind. Sure, they put out a ridiculous number of devices when you count computers and printers, but I think I have ONE friend using a Palm phone...though some folks are now even recommending the TouchPad over the iPad 2.0
HP is definitely showing some commitment to an idea here, though.
