HP Chooses Apple for Music Venture

HP and Apple have announced a partnership to sell iPods and the iTunes Music Store. This means that, in addition to a direct desktop link to the iTMS on all new HP PCs sold, there will now be an 'HP' Blue iPod to add to the range!

Hats off to Carly Fiorina and HP for choosing to back a winner, as opposed to the rest of the Wintel pack, who sulkily choose to try and compete with lame, inferior imitations - now roll on iTMS in Europe!

Don't forget about Canada!

I hope this works out better than the MacOS clones did.

Rumour has it that the ink on the iTMS Canada agreements is drying as I write...

You have to work to get the record though - someone's spent $29,000 USD since the music store went on line

PS For those of you with broadband and too young to remember here's a link to the first Mac ad shown at the end of Superbowl 1984.
Produced at Shepperton in the UK and directed by Ridley Scott there's just been the tiniest bit of doctoring to update it
