To me, "gram" brings up images of lightweight, flighty things.
Now, "Ton" sounds substantial and weighty. |

Mission: Unknown
Pondering the avalanche of indifference shown here, I must say that their mission has been achieved. |

More like Mission: Impossible.
This should clear things up. After killing off their phones, tablet and webOS last year, HP is creating a mobility division for consumer tablets and other stuff to be headed up by some ex-Nokia guy. Meanwhile, their soon-to-be-released commercial tablet is being run by the PC group. With me so far? Then there's Gram. ...now it makes sense HP creates Mobility division to focus on consumer tablets Quote:

Hope it won't be positioned as a general mobile OS. The market is already very crowded with established eco systems. It's a uphill battle, imo.
