Good luck with that.. even if HPQ now wants to do enterprise software services, they're probably years behind.
HPQ stock price been a P.O.S since last year. Bought it last year at $40.. dump $43. Made a meager few hundreds.
very poor performance despite slightly better earnings. Then, Q4, Q1, and Q3 came.. it becoming worst and worst after the new CEO took over.
Stay away from HPQ for now until they got a good results. On the mobile side, why would anymore want to buy that HP tablet (WebOS) made from the old Palm days anyway? Nowadays, it is Android or iOS tablets. Even MSFT can't compete.
Now, it is either AAPL or GOOG that rules the tech giant space.
GOOG - realized that they have to acquire hardware maker like MMI to have a complete vertical market. Made no money from Google software except for ads. Will have to see what GOOG plan is. It better be good.
AAPL - (thank goodness for S.Jobs visionary) continues to pummel ahead with new products. iPhone5 (to be released in Oct) and next iPAD3 (going to the factories now, speculate to be available next Feb/March 2012).
AAPL is king for now. Someday somehow some other company will be the King. Its cyclical in business world. One can't be on TOP forever.
GOOG is seen as a direct competitor for AAPL. Samsung is 2nd behind AAPL in sales of tablet/smart phones. With Galaxy Tab hitting the shores worldwide, no doubt Jobs' eggs are shaking hard.
