With all the hype now on the iPad (and the proposed HP slate), I thought it was timely to mention the personal session with HP's head of innovation a few weeks ago. As part of the Startup Bus, Phil McKinney gave us a one-hour session on innovation, which we are fortunate enough to have recorded and have permission to share to the world.
Hewlett Packard was the company that started Silicon Valley, and Phil is one of the three divisional CTO's at the company, focused on personal systems (meaning a lot of the innovative things that we will see come out are under his watch). So it was a no-brainer to start our experience there. He shared secrets of innovation, including some insight into yet-to-be released products by HP, like it's electronic-ink paper that kills anything else in its class and the proposed Slate device itself (an iPad competitor soon to be released).
