HP has decided to launch their new Phablets in India becuase it is a growing market, and HP’s Ron Coughlin had the following to say about the devices.
“We see a need in India that we can meet,” Coughlin said. “Consumers are looking for a way to consolidate devices. We think there’s an opportunity to enter a growing market where there’s an unmet need.”
