HP's iPod to lead consumer push

CNET: "Hoping to make a big bang in consumer electronics, Hewlett-Packard plans on Friday to unveil its long-awaited HP-branded iPod, along with its first televisions, an entertainment hub and the usual array of new printers and cameras, sources said ... 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 ... HP has been waiting patiently to be able to offer its iPod. The company had originally planned to offer a model this summer based on Apple's third-generation design. However, the company decided to wait until September to ship the iPod to use the new 'click-wheel' design. HP's version is expected to be similar in price to the Apple models; the 20GB iPod sells for $299, while the 40GB model sells for $399."
