>article<"We do remain committed to our digital-entertainment strategy," HP spokesman Ross Camp said Friday. "We decided that reselling the iPod does not fit within that strategy."
good.
HP branded ipods :lol:
Under the terms of HP's deal with Apple, the computer maker cannot develop or market a rival digital music player to the iPod until August 2006.
let's hope that doesn't happen

HP only made up something like 5% of all ipod sales

What's the story with Napster? $15 a month and unlimited downloads... What is the quality? Is there a catch? Can you convert them into mp3 or mp4 files?

Napster still gives you the option to buy a track, typically for the same 99 cents that Apple and others charge. Some Napster tunes are labeled buy-only or album-only. Moreover, you'll have to buy a song to be able to burn it onto a CD. And Napster To Go lets you listen to subscription tracks on just three portable players and three computers at a time. (Napster does let you synchronize music from one PC to the next.)
The other big catch with Napster's rental business: You must remain a fully paid customer, or you'll no longer be able to listen to your rented music. Napster requires you to log into your account with a portable player at least once a month, or the songs become unplayable.

Yea, Napster hjas a shitty ass deal.
I honestly don't see why someone would buy an HP iPod, after all the personalization from Apple is free, at least with the education store, and the Apple RMA service is quite good.
