HP kisses Apple iPod goodbye
![]() HP on average accounted for about 5% of iPod sales, which totaled about 6.2 million of the devices, worth more than $1.1 billion in revenue, for Apple last quarter. Consequently, shares of Apple fell $1.15, or 2.6 percent, to close at $42.65 in Friday trading. HP shares gained 13 cents, $24.62. [via WSJ] |

Not great.... for HP. It's the right decision, but since HP can't market nor sell it's competing player until Aug. 2006, I think the agreement was terminated too early.
5% of 6.2 million player (ipods sold last quarter) is 310,000 unit. At say, $200 a pop, that still 62 Million of revenue. More than probably most other competing players has... |

Really too bad for those of us (cough) who have HP iPods. They actually gave you 24 hr service if something went wrong. I somehow doubt they'll keep that going. I wonder about the warranty too, although I think I'm out of it now.
