CORRECTION APPENDED SAN FRANCISCO -- As the computer industry makes a radical shift to new modes of computing -- in the cloud and on tablets and smartphones -- Hewlett-Packard, a stalwart of the previous era, finds it hard to keep up. It is not alone in that struggle. H.P., along with well-established tech companies like Dell and Cisco Systems, is contending with a faster-than-expected move by consumers and businesses from personal computers and small racks of computer servers toward mobile phones and tablets that are connected to millions of servers, all lashed together in remote supercomputing ''clouds.''

SAN FRANCISCO -- One after another, like moths to a flame, technology companies have been seduced into entering the market for tablets. Apple made it look so irresistible, with 29 million eager and sometimes fanatical consumers snapping up an iPad in the device's first 15 months. But neither Samsung nor Motorola nor Acer could beg or borrow any of Apple's magic. Research in Motion, the maker of the BlackBerry, said it shipped only 200,000 of its PlayBooks in three months -- about what Apple sells in three days. Hewlett-Packard, which flopped this summer with the TouchPad, was the latest to get burned. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
