HP iPod
I know this has all been discussed before, but today is the official release of the HP iPod, so I thought I'd start a thread with facts.
Same design/color as current 4th gen iPods. Same price. HP now sells labels you can print that are wraps for your ipod so you can make custom "jackets."
And thats about it.
Lotta hype for nothing really.

That's a lot of potential sales to people who have generally avoided anything Apple.
Also, since it appears that the "hPod" is thoroughly the white, 4th gen iPod including the Apple logo, Apple gets a slim opportunity to win over hearts and minds.

Let's just hope that Apples manufacturer can make enough of both the iPod and iPod+HP to keep up with demand. If you thought last Xmas was a great season for the 'Pod, this year will go through the roof.
Also, with iTMS/iTunes/Quicktime bundled with all HP consumer desktops, look for increased downloads from iTMS as well. This is a win-win-win- deal.
i wonder how effective they will be in practice for personalizing and protecting the ipod.
White & (real) aluminium seem so much prettier.
And perhaps that's what HP's marketing drones found out about the iPod.

I think the HP version has an HP logo on the back, not an Apple. Other than that, they look the same.
Correction. I guess it has both an Apple and HP logo.
