HP Plans on Friday to Announce the hPod
Posted by James Fee in "NEWS" @ 01:00 PM
"The iPod, while expected to be similar to Apple's version, is important both as the company's entree into the music market as well as a part of HP's strategy to become cool enough to be allowed in the living room. "There is nothing hipper and nothing cooler than an iPod," said Gary Peterson, an analyst with Gap Intelligence, a San Diego-based market research firm. "They have to stop being a boring old printer and server company."
Looks like we'll finally see what the hPod looks like and how they expect it to integrate into their existing and future line of consumer electronics. Could there be a way to copy photos from your HP camera into the hPod and then connect to an HP printer and print them? Most likely not, but this is the kind of integration HP needs to focus on.
