Compaq Should Spin Off iPaq
from the well... dept
Here's a suggestion from the Red Herring that Compaq spin off its iPaq division. They make all the arguments about "unleashing" the stock value that could be gained out of such a move. Of course, if you look at how well Palm and Handspring are doing these days you have to wonder if the folks in the iPaq division really want that sort of death sentence or would prefer to be a happy part of a larger, protective concern.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
