there is no difference, apple just couldnt make ipods fast enough, so the sold some rights to HP and now they sell them too.

ok I was reading about them one has voice recorder the other one doesnt. the one from hp looks like its only for windows. looking at the box now i cant open it because its not xmas yet lol

HP iPod IS Win only (cause it doesn`t come with Mac firmware) but in all other aspects they are the same. Read the review on ipodlounge.com if u need more info.

HP also shows an HP logo on startup. There was one other difference, but I don't remember. :-( Try google, or as Unbe suggested, ipodlounge.com

wish I would have known I wanted the one from apple oh well thanks for info

#238128

so can you guys help me make a choice thinking about taking the hp one back and get the apple one I read the sound quality was bad on hp

#238133

I don't think that there's a difference between the sound qualities. But, to be sure, take the HP back and get the original Apple one. There is no price difference as far as I know, so there should be no problem.

yup went there and went to hp website and apple to read reviews as well as circuit city i like to see what the reviews are before i buy something. Can I be a dudette? lol

#238187

LOL

sorry

but have no fear, the only difference is the box and the ugly HP logo on the back.

Apple just wanted to get a broader audience so it teamed up with HP. HP is kind of a reseller for the iPod. ;)
