Breaking up is hard to do....



I never really understood why innovative HP was happy to sell an Apple product. I guess they're fighting over the moolah in the end. Anyway, I wonder if HP is going to develop their own player now, like they should have done in the 1st place.

Computer maker Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ - news) will no longer market the Apple iPod. The company had been labeling and distributing the iPod since the middle of last year. Now, however, HP says that the iPod program no longer fits within its digital-entertainment strategy.

Although the company has not released any further details, the program's end is being viewed either as a blow to Apple or as a non-issue, depending on the observer's perspective.
