New HP CEO: We Need To Ship Good Products

Bang. Just after I got off the phone with you guys talking about tablet makers actually shipping that we have a bonafide tablet maker talking about actually shipping. Incoming HP CEO Leo Apotheker talked with the WSJ today about the challenges his behemoth faces. Considering Mark Hurd essentially drove HP into the innovation weeds, shipping more and more boring product year-in-year-out, Leo has a big job ahead of him. He notes that HP is full of innovation but that no one is telling the HP story:

H-P is an extraordinary company that has managed to keep much of its greatness secret. H-P needs to rekindle its innovation capabilities, H-P needs to come closer to some customers, and H-P needs to tell its story.
