HP cozies Up to IBM's mobile comDutina customers

摘要

HP is preparing to use any IBM customer anxiety created through Big Blue's sale of its PC business late last year to win over converts to its mobile computing line. At its first-ever Mobility Summit last week in San Jose, Calif., HP held what executives called the biggest launch of commercial notebooks in the firm's history, with additions to its thin and light, desktop performance and tablet PC product lines. The company also discussed a forthcoming handheld unit, the iPaq Mobile Messenger, which will include BlackBerry-like e-mail functionality, and announced plans to address the smart phone category later this year.
