Well, after less than a year on the job as HP's top dog Léo Apotheker is out, and former eBay CEO and one time candidate for California governor Meg Whitman is in. The move was hardly unexpected, but it very quickly evolved from quiet mumblings and rumors to full-fledged fact this afternoon. It was initially expected that Whitman would only be stepping in as an interim solution -- just another person passing through the revolving door at the entrance to the CEO's office. She's stepping in at a crucial and somewhat difficult time for the company that has seen its stock price plummet 47 percent, its $1.2 billion mobile OS flounder and is considering spinning off its PC business.
Interesting News, What does that mean to Touchpad and WebOS? Not known at the moment, but it could mean that some wrongs may be righted, or it could mean nothing but changes of the Head of HP.
The fact remains, Léo Apotheker was removed from CEO and HP because his plans to kill the computer and hardware, and basically tossed HP's future into an unknown bowel of mess.
Will the hardware group and the touchpad have a life from now? Will WebOS have a new lease on life? Who knows, but things just got interesting....
