HP to Sell Branded iPod Photo

By Nate Mook | Published April 12, 2005, 11:03 AM

Hewlett-Packard announced Tuesday that it has struck an agreement with Apple to sell HP-branded versions of the iPod Photo, despite assumptions that flat sales of the standard HP iPod would limit such an expansion. HP will offer both the 30GB and 60GB iPod Photo priced identically to Apple's own models.

The iPod Photo was unveiled last October and features a 65,536-color screen sporting a 220x176-pixel resolution. Users scroll through pictures just like songs, browsing 25 thumbnails at a time, and can also view album art while music is playing. The 30GB model is priced at $349 USD while the 60GB version runs $449 USD.

This is what HP must mean by their slogan: "Invent." By taking other companies products and rebranding, surely HP jests?

Why "Invent". Let the others do the work and just slap your name on it. HP isn't the only one that does this...Pringles invented the "tube" chip but Lays has the same thing but calls it something like "Stax"...tastes exactly the same...just a different name...
