HP's Touchsmart: Sure Its a PC, But It Also Makes a Cool TV

This will be another failure in a series of flops for HP, especially in Consumer Electronics area. What happened to Media Center PCs, LCD TVs, Networked Media Players that were introduced in the past seven years? They were all failures because HP's PC division is so entrenched with guys who have no vision. The PC division sees itself as a hen that lays golden eggs and why to disturb the hen after all. Hence all forays into consumer electronics domain which apparently come under PC division is quietly killed by HP insiders. Carly and Mark Hurd had to retreat on their vision for networked home server and media players that were announced during past CES fairs. If HP can put their complete heart and soul into marketing this Touchsmart PC, it can be a success. I doubt if HP can do it sincerely. Good Luck, Mark.
