HP Splits From The iPod
Macnews.com reported earlier today that Hewitt Packard will stop selling the Apple / HP iPod:
The Wall Street Journal today reported that Hewlett-Packard has decided to stop selling its branded iPods, notes Marketwatch. “They’ve decided that reselling iPods doesn’t fit with their company’s current digital media strategy,” the Journal quoted Apple spokeswoman Katie Cotton as saying in the report. HP will phase out its iPod sales immediately.
What does this mean? Well, I bet HP will be, if they haven’t been already, working extremely hard to roll out their own personal music device to compete with Apple’s iPod. I’m not incredibly familiar with Apple’s revenue from the arrangement, but it apparantly wasn’t significant enough for HP to continue.
