Nice IPOD chain you have...........

HP Ipod?! Never heard of ot...hahaha

It's the hardware that uses Hewlett Packard technology.

Sorry Mike but that is woefully inaccurate.

HP was a reseller for Apple iPods from Jan 2004 to July 2005 when they released their own digital music player (which like many others failed miserably).

For the 18 month period however, Apple iPods were available from the HP retail and online channels in the US with a laser engraving with the HP logo. Obviously it had absolutely NO HP hardware.

Respect you bro!

I'm quite noob....! I wonder why they pick HP as their reseller that time...

sigh, you are very nice.

i was about to say "mike, dont be a moron. if you dont know anything dont try to pull anything out of your ass..."

i mean, ipod with HP tech? wtf is that? sigh. if u know ure noob keep it shut la. we could use less people like you in this forum, it is filled with too much BS

A little stingy about getting facts straight, are we? People make mistakes. Practice tolerance and perhaps have some respect for others' faults.

i dont mind sharing knowledge. but when a noob, as he put himself as, blabber rubbish, he deserves to be prosecuted.

why talk when you know nothing? why bother saying something you are not sure of? this is part of the reason why this whole forum is going downhill, while the Apple sub forum is still lively, we dont want any bollocks to ruin it do we?

They went with HP coz wanna tap PC market.. They couldn't go to Dell coz Dell had its own mp3 player already (which is way ugly.. no pun intended for owners) and HP was the next biggest PC seller..

that wasnt a pun to begin with. that's more like a direct insult. do you even know what pun is?

well yeah, except people generally dont think HP is as cool as Apple, so why would they want to get an Ipod with HP engraved onto it? might as well get it from Apple. sigh

is this a gaduh2 thread or wanna discuss about ipod 5 years old?

We can discuss the 5 ipod generations provided those who know nothing stop uttering rubbish.

imagine from this:


to this


5 years seems very short.
latest pattern registration suggest yet the widescreen ipod is on the way.

Once this becomes a reality, maybe we'll see something like this.

I think it's quite remarkable how ubiquitous the iPod has become in five short years. George Bush has one, The Pope has one. I won't be suprised if Osama listens to podcasts too...

The thing that comes to mind when looking at the first-gen and the present iPods is how similar the original design is to the present one. They got most things right from the outset. Did not have to change all that much at all. In fact, they probably made it even simpler to use.

I've no doubt the widescreen iPod is on the way. Looking at the patent diagrams however suggest a completely new user interface with the controls on the side of the device. Lets hope it is usable as the clickwheel. They've got a tough act to follow up to.

The Pope also got his hands on an iPod Nano, loaded with Vatican broadcasts and classical music. No joke.

hmm... the only thing about the HP iPod using 'HP Technology' is that it uses HP iTunes application that benefits those who own a HP Media Centre PC, which has a remote control. This was back in 2004, I believe.

Wow, Front Row on iPod...

ipod rules =) happy that everyone like that photo

why would anyone want to buy the ipod u2? eventhough i like u2, id never devote an ipod for it. why cant we have ipod keane, ipod martey casey, ipod goldfrap etc then?

tsk

They want to promote their 4th album by sing up an agreement with Apple.

I'm really reluctant to flame Mike but you've got a talent for overstating the obvious...

The U2 and Apple deal is a good case-study into the difference between Advertising and Public Relations. Using the power of Google; do a search on these keywords:

Advertising Public Relations U2 iPod

And you will come up with this article: http://education.independent.co.uk/magazin...icle1204379.ece

Its a good read an explains the advantages of celebrity endorsement of a product and how both the product and the celebrity gain benefit from the "halo effect" of endorsement. Of course you can't overdo the endorsement relationship by having too many celebrity versions. For example I am certain we will not see a "Mawi iPod" anytime soon....

i can't wait for the new ipod to be released
the 2nd gen ipod nano didn't do a big impact to me

haih, i pity you mike.... getting flamed like there's no tomorrow after the revelation of the truth:sweat:

a lesson learned i guess...

The idea of a mawi ipod shocks the hell outta me!! hahaha

Just hope the folks at apple don't read this thread and suddenly get the idea to produce one... haha... the malay market is pretty untapped by apple ipods, they might do some shocking things *touches wood*
