Strange things to happen in business – for example, HP’s CEO has just retracted part of his statement on the acquisition of Palm not being about the smartphone space.
Engadget just got the text below:
When we look at the market, we see an array of interconnected devices, including tablets, printers, and of course, smartphones. We believe webOS can become the backbone for many of HP’s small form factor devices, and we expect to expand webOS’s footprint beyond just the smartphone market, all while leveraging our financial strength, scale, and global reach to grow in smartphones.
Of course, all of this could just be a smokescreen-style maneuver to keep developers loyal to the Palm webOS platform until a critical amount of applications is reached. On the other hand, few companies know mobile as well as HP does.
Stay tuned…
