  1. Wow, and yet all I can think about is: I have purchased millions of dollars of HP gear and personally have 2 HP laptops. HP loads their gear with unusable product that interferes with the productive operation of their h/w. I am a complete PC, and not Apple user, I'd still take a change on ANY of HP competitors to give me usable function. Too bad, this looks like a sweet product but I'm convinced it will only take HP to screw it up, my decisions to buy HP have been some of the worst of my IT career.

  2. I'm always surprised HP is such a huge tech company, I don't know anyone that uses HP, lol. Steve Jobs in the Apple earnings conference call didn't talk about HP, but he did talk about his tablet competitors. Said they couldn't compete with him, lol. We're going to post a summary of Apple conference call today at: http://appledigest.blogspot.com/p/apple-earnings-conference-call.html -or- the call can be listed to at: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/earningsq410/
