Sharp To Quit Making Personal Computers 93

Posted by timothy on Sunday October 24, 2010 @11:11PM from the used-to-have-the-coolest-laptops dept.

cylonlover writes "Sharp has reportedly decided to pull the plug on their PC operations — not entirely shocking given that the company has not released any PCs at all in the past year. The company will apparently 'focus on marketing its Galapagos tablet devices coming out in December, along with providing content such as e-books, music and video for these products.'"

The Vista Hybrid was a bad move though. It was one thing to get the "allow" or "deny" prompt when you started one but getting the prompt when you hit the brakes was a little unsettling.
