我们刚刚得到消息，惠普的托德•布拉德利（Todd Bradley）在内部传阅了一份备忘录，他掌管着惠普最近合并的印刷和个人系统集团，宣布在他的领导下成立一个新的移动业务部门，负责“消费平板电脑”和“我们认为可以提供的其他细分市场和类别”这则消息发布的时间几乎正好是惠普杀掉TouchPad的一年，它实际上结束了Palm作为一家硬件公司的运营，并将webOS本身作为一个开放源码平台推向了一个不确定的未来。

运营新移动部门的将是阿尔贝托·托雷斯（Alberto Torres），他是在运营MeeGo业务之后离开诺基亚的。一旦有迹象表明，首席执行官史蒂芬·埃洛普（Stephen Elop）将带领诺基亚走上Windows Phone之路，MeeGo业务就注定要失败。他将直接向布拉德利汇报，从九月初开始。有意思的是，惠普“即将推出的商用平板电脑”仍将由运营PC集团的詹姆斯·穆顿（James Mouton）负责。

这一切与Gram的关系尚不清楚：移动GBU的关注点似乎比webOS更广泛，尽管Gram的工作可能属于移动的兴趣和影响范围。

随着事态的发展，我们将对此进行更多的研究。

As the world's largest PC and printing business, we make it matter for hundreds of milli*** of people each and every day. Today we are taking an important step to serve even more customers in new and exciting ways.

I am pleased to announce that we are creating a team dedicated to delivering the best mobility soluti*** in the industry. With this move, we are building on our commitment to re-invest in mobility via dedicated leadership, focused research and development, amazing new products and a growing suite of applicati*** and services.

Our new Mobility Global Business Unit initially will focus on c***umer tablets and will expand to additional segments and categories where we believe we can offer differentiated value to our customers. Our existing notebook teams, including our soon-to-be launched commercial tablet, will remain within the PC GBU under James Mouton at this time.

To lead the Mobility GBU, I am thrilled to announce that we have recruited a proven executive from the mobile-device industry. Alberto Torres, who most recently oversaw the MeeGo products and platform at Nokia as Executive Vice President, will join HP as Senior Vice President of Mobility, reporting to me.

I am excited to have Alberto join us. During his seven years at Nokia, he held a variety of critical leadership positi***, including two years on the company's Executive Board. In earlier roles at Nokia, Alberto ran the company's premium brand, its accessory and CDMA businesses and corporate strategy. Prior to Nokia, he was a partner at McKinsey and Company, where he worked with industry leaders in mobile devices, c***umer technologies, software and Internet services. A Ph.D in computer science from Stanford University, Alberto currently holds vice chairman roles with the firms Bang & Olufsen and Opera Software. Alberto's first order of business will be to accelerate our tablet strategy and begin to execute products against our c***umer/SMB target. The exact structure of his team will follow that strategy.

Alberto's start date will be September 3. Please join me in welcoming Alberto to HP and in supporting him and his team in their important work.

Regards,

Todd
