我們剛剛得到訊息，惠普的託德•布拉德利（Todd Bradley）在內部傳閱了一份備忘錄，他掌管著惠普最近合併的印刷和個人系統集團，宣佈在他的領導下成立一個新的移動業務部門，負責“消費平板電腦”和“我們認為可以提供的其他細分市場和類別”這則訊息釋出的時間幾乎正好是惠普殺掉TouchPad的一年，它實際上結束了Palm作為一家硬體公司的運營，並將webOS本身作為一個開放原始碼平臺推向了一個不確定的未來。

運營新移動部門的將是阿爾貝託·託雷斯（Alberto Torres），他是在運營MeeGo業務之後離開諾基亞的。一旦有跡象表明，執行長史蒂芬·埃洛普（Stephen Elop）將帶領諾基亞走上Windows Phone之路，MeeGo業務就註定要失敗。他將直接向布拉德利彙報，從九月初開始。有意思的是，惠普“即將推出的商用平板電腦”仍將由運營PC集團的詹姆斯·穆頓（James Mouton）負責。

這一切與Gram的關係尚不清楚：移動GBU的關註點似乎比webOS更廣泛，儘管Gram的工作可能屬於移動的興趣和影響範圍。

隨著事態的發展，我們將對此進行更多的研究。

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
