The horse is dead, buried and nearly fossilized - why is HP still kicking it?

I managed HP tablets/phablets for 3 years. I didn't make it to a forth (of a 10 year career at HP) because I didn't agree that the .com could sell what the GM determined it could. Late to market, under-spec'd, over priced, and inferior quality does not get rewarded in the market place. The commercial models are decent, but few are lining up to buy $1k tablets when you can get a decent laptop for half the price.

Sympathy for the individual who has to manage these products. Keep smiling and your resume up to date. Be proud you have a job, not proud of your job.
