HP Alliance

[fjguerra]

Can somebody tell me a little more about that alliance, cause I have a ratehr bad oppinion about HP and hope Apple's quality and policy doesn't go down...

Thanx!

Hopefully a bit of Apple will rub off on HP and HP'll start making good printers :D

I kid, but it's just that HP will start bundling iTunes on their computers and market a special iPod with an HP look to it.

I don't understand this partnership. HP has pretty bad Mac support. If they're really going to have a relationship then maybe HP will write OS X drivers for some of their scanners. That might be too much to ask.

Modern HP gear has some excellent mac drivers. Their tech support don't know Jack (call Apple - they cab help more).

I have a DJ5550C - nice - really. I also have an iPAQ 4350 - excellent build quality. And they are a good plastic build = lower cost = better for competition.

I think apple will be selling the hiPods to HP at wholesale price - or whatever they charge Apple Centres for them.

I have an compaq notebook(really an HP, its just marketed as a campaq. It came in an hp box with hp instruction manual.)

This notebook is a centrino and quality wise it was far superior to my brother ibook. It just felt sturdier and more rugid.
I know it might be better to compare it to a power book, but we did not have one of those lying around.

I still wish i would have bought a mac though. Ah till next time.
