Could be an excellent business decision on HP's part.  They get first-rate
sensor research and additional market entrees, especially medical imaging.
If I had to take a wild guess, the one thing that wouldn't fit in this
purchase would be the remaining film business.  If such a purchase would
follow in the examples of other corporate acquisitions, the legacy film
division might be sold to another entity.

Fuji/Kodak film, anyone?  

At the LHSA presentations, we heard from a Kodak representative that "nobody
at Kodak wants to be known as the person who killed Kodachrome."  If the
film division were under a different corporate entity, that might not be the
case.

I am reading that HP is considering a purchase of Kodak. Definitely an
interesting sign of the times.
