HP plans to make a Smartphone

Summary: HP hasn’t had a smartphone since it ditched WebOS in 2011, but it sounds like it’s itching to get back into the smartphone marketing race.

The mobile market is so much competitive, so what! HP insists it still plans to make a Smartphone that it will release sometime in the future. Business Insider reports that Su-yin Yam, the senior director of HP’s consumer business in the Asia-Pacific region, said this weekend that HP is biding its time and waiting for the perfect moment to strike with a smartphone that truly differentiates the company from its competitors. Yam claimed that HP is studying all the current offerings in the smartphone market and is trying to figure out what it can offer that other vendors don’t. And while Yam wouldn’t commit to giving a timetable to launch, she did say that HP “has to be in the game” in the smartphone market so it seems that an HP smartphone is a matter of “when” more than “if.”
