Hewlett Packard begins selling co-branded iPod Photos

Hewlett Packard announced today they have begun selling HP branded versions of the iPod Photo (HP already sells the more basic iPod). These new players, available in 30GB ($349) and 60GB ($449) sizes, are alike in every technical way to their Apple counterparts, allowing consumers to enjoy digital audio and display digital photos. The players come with a USB 2.0 cable to connect to a computer for synching and can get up to 15 hours of rechargeable battery life.

"HP offers consumers simple, fun ways to enjoy and personalize their music and photo experiences," said Siobhan O'Connor, vice president, Consumer Brand and Marketing, HP. "Along with products such as our new Media Center PCs, now available with an integrated iPod dock and pre-installed Apple iTunes software, these new iPods round out a complete music solution from HP."
