Many were critical of the decision to appoint Léo Apotheker, a 57 year-old German native with little consumer retail experience and a poor business track record, to the position of chief executive officer at Hewlett-Packard Company. Likewise, the decisions Mr. Apotheker has made during the first few months of his tenure have done little to silence that criticism.

Mr. Apotheker, in a recent interview with Business Week, attacked his company's performance under former CEO Mark Hurd. He states, "HP has lost its soul. The first thing I wanted to do when I joined HP was listen to the people. The rank and file usually know about all the shortcomings."

Late last week Samsung’s latest tablet, the Galaxy Tab II, made an appearance on the FCC. The device, which made its debut at Mobile World Congress this year, won FCC approval for its 802.11 a/b/g/n and Bluetooth capabilities, as well as GSM bands 850 and 1900, and WCDMA 3G bands II and V.
