HP To Make Push Into Consumer Electronics Market
Posted by Kati Compton in "OFF-TOPIC" @ 12:00 PM
The article is a bit vague, but reportedly, HP is planning to offer televisions with integrated media features. Possibly as a response to Dell's announced MP3 player, HP is also thinking of offering its own MP3 player.
With PC sales decreasing, major PC manufacturers, such as Dell, HP, and Gateway (also offering an MP3 player), seem to be diversifying in order to achieve profits. This seems to be the opposite of companies like Toshiba and Sony that started in consumer electronics and branched into computers. Will all companies eventually turn into mega-corps in an effort to survive?
