[QUOTE="TylerMoney, post: 52730"] If apple is going to join teams with anyone...it would be HP. They have interests closer together...and HP knows that if it hooks up with apple now, it will be better for them in the future..same with apple...they needed someone to help them get even more iPods out there..especially for pc users...HP sells a lot of pcs, so if they also offer deals for iPods with computers...it's better for both companies...people who don't want to buy apple..for whatever reason..may still want an iPod...who does that lead them to? HP, that's right. Apple might not sell those people a comptuer, but they're selling them an apple product..the iPod...and who knows....maybe after their experience with the iPod..an apple product..just maybe they'll want to try other apple products...like a powerbook, powermac, ibook, iMac..etc....it's a good business venture for both companies. Apple had to connect with someone in the pc world..and out of those in existence...HP had to be the number one choice (sony vio wasn't viable...for they are trying to sell their own music player). It wouldn't have made much since for HP to try and create their own player...it was too late in the game...they would have pretty much gone un noticed. Well, that's a long rant, but I hope that helps...at least with one persons take on the matter...an expansion of what's already been said..and a little more, I think. [/QUOTE]
