It is HP's "God-given right" to take control of the business tablet space given the company's standing in the notebook and desktop client market, according to colourful exec Jos Brenkel. To date, HP hasn't made a dent in Apple and Samsung's mammoth share of the overall tablet computer market: after all, slabs aimed at …

    Only if Surface gains significant market share

    In others words, no.

    Leading with Windows tablets again

    And they say Apple has a reality distortion field.

      And HP, like MS, seem to have installed the distortion field the wrong way round too.

    Based on past performance,

    I'd expect HP tablets to be heavy, noisy, and to die from overheating suspiciously close to warranty expiration...

      And they're far from the only manufacturers to be guilty of that. We've encountered certain Windows 8 tablet PCs that when barely even exercised, were effectively useless during a Lync conference due to incredible fan noise.

    More BS from Brenkel The man who predicted the death of the channel when he ran HP direct and two weeks later became the channel VP! Then predicted the death of Compaq when actually they performed a reverse take over of HP. A true trusted adviser from HP.

    Absolutely!

    It is worth noting that it is also your "god given right" to utterly humiliate yourself with the inevitable dismal product release, do a giant corporate faceplant for all the world to see, become the laughing stock of the market segment (yet again) and lose tons of stockowner cash whilst you collect your fatheaded fatboy pay check.

    The world anxiously awaits. The microwave popcorn deliveries have just begun!

    Most business does what...?

    Looking around this office, computers are being used for process: email, accounts, bespoke applications, word processing, spreadsheets, software development, etc.

    Any fewel knows that none of these applications work at all well on tablets, at the very least because you need your desk free for other items.

    Looks like HP are not only late to market, but late to the wrong market!

    How?

    I mean HOW?, do these people get into the managerial/directorial positions they get themselves into? Is there a book somewhere which all numbwits have access to as a part of their education? - which the rest of us don't get.

    I agree HP has a god given right...

    If you keep employing execs who fail to see why the company is becoming irrelevant, you have a god given right to fail.

    Or a market given right for all you atheists....
