HP is going to stop selling PC's, smartphones and tablets

[Odie]

The company that was once the world's largest PC maker wants to sell or spin off its Personal Systems Group to concentrate on software, services and business hardware.

The reasons are twofold, and simple. After last year's boardroom shenanigans the new man at the top, Leo Apotheker, wants to trim off some of HP's fat, and focus on the boring, stable and more profitable stuff. He wants a quiet life.

The other reason? Personal computing is hard. Or, at least, turning a profit from selling personal computing products is tough. Margins are decreasing, competition is increasing, and it's getting harder and harder to see what's coming down the track.
