Why HP Is Killing Its Phone, Tablet Businesses

The bold change in strategy for the world’s largest computer maker signals a shift away from consumer electronics and toward developing software for large businesses, analysts said. The abrupt change in course comes only a year after HP made a billion dollar commitment to selling smartphones and tablets by acquiring Palm.
