Sharp To Quit Making Personal Computers

Posted by timothy on 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.'"

      Oh my god, I just read Apple isn't shipping Ugly Device anymore, in addition to Flash and Java.

      What am I going to do when I need Ugly Device?!?

      Damn you jobs!

      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.
