HP To Start Selling Its iPod

Posted by timothy on from the it-isn't-even-blue dept.

Dozix007 writes "Uberhacker.Com is reporting that HP said Friday it will start selling its version of the iPod in September. HP's white iPod will be sold in a 20-gigabyte and 40-gigabyte version for $299 and $399 respectively. Apple's prices are the same. It is essentially a clone of the current design, with no real modification."

    Is it really a total clone? I have no doubts that it will be very high quality stuff, like everything from HP (except new printers), but will it have the same gay design? I really love Apple's stuff not only because of clear technical superiority but mostly because of their cheerful style, bright and lively colours, it is so livery, so merry, so pleasant; almost promoting a feeling of cheer. Will this new HP clone preserve the original gayness?

    Please put a 48 hour embargo on all and any iPod related news, I think I'm coming down with iPod poisoning. Or is that just from seeing that Duke freshman's nauseating barf^Wblog entry about Free (TM) iPods?
