HP to Sell Branded iPod Mini
14 Comments
Hewlett-Packard is bulking up its line of HP-branded versions of Apple's iPod, announcing Thursday it has begun to sell the iPod Mini. HP's Mini will be nearly identical to its original Apple counterpart, with an added logo and option for "Printable Tattoos," or stickers that allow users to personalize their player.
HP's agreement also gives the iPod added exposure at more retail stores, including Radio Shack, Sears and Wal-Mart. Last month, HP announced it had struck a deal with Apple to sell the iPod Photo, which sports a color screen and ability to display digital images. HP, however, has seen flat sales while the original iPod has catapulted into icon status.
