HP may not be able to come up with a Phone or a Tablet but they make one heck of a touch screen PC.

My Aunt who is severely limited due to a weird disease could no longer hold a Camera and had a really hard time with other traditional Art mediums.

She got the HP Touch Screen and is back to creating Art again.

If I remember correctly Steve poo poo'ed the touch screen computer.

If Windows 8 is as good with Touch Screen as it is being advertised to be then HP will have a niche they can work.

Why would you purchase a Wacom Cintiq when you can get a whole computer at the same price with far more capabilities?

The one draw back I can see is I'm not certain the HP is pressure sensitive.

I know I see more cogent comments here than I see from a lot of the pros. In between all the off-topic posts, of course. ;-)

Most of the people on CNBC seem to be living in a clue free zone, to me, where Apple and its competitors in the phone and computer markets are concerned.

This is exactly why so many of us were able to do so very well with Apple, Doren. We understood what others did not.
