The camera idea is interesting. They also failed to attempt an iPod Touch competitor (though component prices could make that a non-starter). And there are at least two other arenas that remain insufficiently computerized: the living room, and the kitchen.
Put simply, HP had a tremendous opportunity, and they squandered it through lack of vision.
- teyc 15y agoLooking at the quality of the HP TouchPad ads reminds me of the hilarous movie The Producers, where the show has to be a flop or it will financially destroy the movie makers. HP hired comedians to make fun of potential customers, like looking photos of buck-toothed relatives. Then there was the VP demonstrating the Touchpad without the camera getting a clear shot of how to operate it. Finally, shutting the show when it has barely started.
