Selling iPod

My friend has offered to buy my 4G 20GB HP iPod with headphones, charger, and case for $200.

I should sell ASAP, right?

whats the hp thing all about?

Hewlett Packard + Apple = HP iPod

#354414

i know that but why bother? what are the added features?

I think it was just a deal to influence the ipod on a pc.

Yeah, you see the HP bootscreen along with the Apple one, it says HP on the back, and you don't get support from Apple.

I'd sell, though you're coming pretty close to ripping your friend off...

I don't see a HP bootscreen on my iPod + hp...

The iPod's from HP come with a better warranty.

HP now also offers consumers an alternative to Apple’s customer support services. At almost the same time as HP’s release of the iPod+hp, Apple changed its own iPod telephone customer support policy to permit only a single free help call per iPod purchased - a draconian decision to say the least. Apple iPod buyers additionally need to pay a $29.95 shipping and handling fee for all repairs handled six months after the iPod’s purchase. By contrast, buyers of iPod+hp hardware get HP Total Care - a year of unlimited access to Hewlett Packard’s customer service hotline; while not as well-regarded as Apple’s, this is a better option after your second problem than none at all. Better yet, no ridiculous shipping and handling fees are applied for repairs during HP’s one-year warranty.

As for selling your iPod, it's a good deal for you but not for him.
