As a PC user who loves mac products (I [heart] my ipod), I'm so excited to see that HP and Apple have teamed up to provide even more ipods on the market.
Honestly, I'm not really sure why HP is pimping this. I think it's because HP realizes the ipod is better than anything it could make . . . but it still looks the same. I thought HP was going to have a different color or something to distinguish it. I wonder if the back looks different.
As far as what's in this for Apple, I can only assume that Apple wants more exposure to the PC market. Sure, web junkies and those who read consumer reports know that the ipod works on a PC just fine. But this will put the ipod out for general consumption by everyone who shops at any computer store, since I'm sure HP will place this alongside all its computers.
Exciting news, that's for sure. Hopefully, it helps Apple and HP become even better know as providers of quality peripherals.
