Forward-looking statements

This news release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. If the risks or uncertainties ever materialize or the assumptions prove incorrect, the results of HP may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements and assumptions. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements, including but not limited to any projections of revenue, margins, expenses, earnings, tax provisions, cash flows, benefit obligations, share repurchases, currency exchange rates, the impact of acquisitions or other financial items; any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations, the exploration of strategic options for PSG and the execution of cost reduction programs and restructuring and integration plans; any statements concerning the expected development, performance or market share relating to products or services; any statements regarding current or future macroeconomic trends or events and the impact of those trends and events on HP and its financial performance; any statements regarding pending business combination transactions; any statements regarding pending investigations, claims or disputes; any statements of expectation or belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Risks, uncertainties and assumptions include the impact of macroeconomic and geopolitical trends and events; the competitive pressures faced by HP’s businesses; the development and transition of new products and services and the enhancement of existing products and services to meet customer needs and respond to emerging technological trends; the execution and performance of contracts by HP and its suppliers, customers and partners; the protection of HP’s intellectual property assets, including intellectual property licensed from third parties; integration and other risks associated with business combination and investment transactions; the hiring and retention of key employees; assumptions related to pension and other post-retirement costs; expectations and assumptions relating to the execution and timing of cost reduction programs and restructuring and integration plans; the possibility that the expected benefits of pending business combination transactions may not materialize as expected or that the transactions may not be timely completed; the resolution of pending investigations, claims and disputes; and other risks that are described in HP’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010 and HP’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including HP’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2011. As in prior periods, the financial information set forth in this release, including tax-related items, reflects estimates based on information available at this time. While HP believes these estimates to be meaningful, these amounts could differ materially from actual reported amounts in HP’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 31, 2011. In particular, determining HP’s actual tax balances and provisions as of July 31, 2011 requires extensive internal and external review of tax data (including consolidating and reviewing the tax provisions of numerous domestic and foreign entities), which is being completed in the ordinary course of preparing HP’s Form 10-Q. HP assumes no obligation and does not intend to update these forward-looking statements.

lol! Can't believe WebOS has been killed off so quickly. HP made a *huge* fanfare about the release of the Touchpad and now it's all over...less than two months later.

Love it. It reminds me of a webpage the University of the Highlands and Islands had after they abreviated it to 'UHI'. It had to explain how there had been a project to create a university but that it had never come to fruition. So UHI didn't stand for "University of the Highlands and Islands" it just referenced the earlier project. Infact UHI didn't stand for anything, although it did offer university level education and degrees, but isn't a university. So because "UHI" didn't stand for anything it wasn't to be written 'U.H.I' or 'The UHI' but conversely it wasn't to be pronounce 'OOOO-hi' or 'you high' it was to be pronounced as if it [i]was[/i] initials 'You Haitch Aye'.......

This went on for about 2 pages.

I've been reading a lot of posts on various newsfeeds about HP and the Touchpad, and the one consistent theme is that while the Touchpad is seriously flawed as a devise, and nobody can sell the things at pretty much any price, WebOS is a pretty good mobile OS, and significantly better than Android and Windows Phone 7, almost on a footing with iOS, so it's a bit of a shock that HP are dumping it just like that, after buying Palm specifically to get their hands on it. Seems a shame, perhaps someone may pick it up and actually do something interesting with it.
