Default HP to exit the PC business - implications for the Jornada?
http://www.interex.org/hotnews/content/pcsnomore.1.17.02.html

"Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina told USA Today in mid January that the company may have to get out of the PC business if the merger with Compaq Computer Corp. fails to go through."

Ok, ok, this is a month old, but I hadn't seen it put so bluntly before. Probably more grandstanding by HP CEO Fiorina trying to get the point across that the HP+Compaq deal must happen. The assumption if the PC's go, so do the PPC's, which would be a huge shame. The Jornada 56x series have really come a long way from the Jornadas before it (remember the 430? :-D ) and with the Pocket PC continuing to climb in market share, it would be bad to lose the number two player.
