Look familiar? It’s Hewlett Packard’s new version of the iPod, but except for a different logo on the cover it might as well BE an iPod. It’s part of HP’s smart moves into the digtial entertainment world which also includes sattelite radio receivers, a wireless device that makes it easier to isten to tunes stored on your computer on your stereo, plus flat panel TV’s, DVD/movie burners and this co-branded player and companion iTunes style music store.

Smart moves for HP, but does it signal that Apple/Jobs is opening up his technolgies to others? Sneed to since the HP player is such an iPod clone and breaks no new ground…we somehow doubt it. Bad boy Steve. You need to learn to share better.
