iPod Question

[Joe Matt]

They are the same player insider, just the box and manual differ. So to answer your question, yes, they both act as an external HD, and they also both hook up to the Belkin Media Reader to store photos, and record sound using the iTrip.

If you are a PC user, get the HP, it has better support and offerings. If you want the Apple only branding and/or have a Mac, you should get the one direct from Apple. HP dose not support Mac formatted Apple + HP iPod.

Thank you! That helps a lot.
I'll be getting the HP version.

Yeah, the only difference is the additional 'HP' logo on the back, a different box, and support comes from HP rather than Apple. Everything else is the same.

Apple offers free 90 day support, HP offers one full year. That's a huge difference, but I mean, I know no one who has had their iPod brake or need to call Apple support.
