More on HP's iPod

We all know that HP's version of the iPod, which we're calling the hPod until we have something better to call it,
is coming out next month, but apparently they'll be exactly the same as the Apple iPods apart from having an HP logo on the back. (This also means that it definitely won't look like the baby blue iPod HP pictured at right which HP CEO
Carly Fiorina was showing off at this past January's CES). Doesn't sound like the hPod will be be too competitive with Apple price-wise either, since it'll come in a 20GB that'll cost $299.99 and a 40GB version that'll cost $399.99, just like the regular iPod. Not that we expected anything too different. Why would anyone spend more on an iPod than they had to?
