The handheld business was previously combined with notebooks as part of the Mobility Business Unit. By separating handhelds, HP will improve its ability to capitalize on its strategy for growth in both the notebook computing and handheld markets, giving each unit greater financial and operational control of its respective business. The change also builds on HP's recent moves to streamline its organization, including splitting certain functions that had previously been combined."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.SmartphoneThoughts.com/images/Temporale-HPLogo.gif" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/><br /><br />Maybe now we'll finally see HP release a Windows Mobile Smartphone. Worst case, maybe they'll be able to get the iPAQ line back to the height of the glory days when Compaq ran it. :lol:
