On January 8, 2004, Carly Fiorina announced the Apple iPod+HP deal at the Consumer Electronics Show.[1] The first device of the iPod+HP line was the fourth-generation iPod, available in 20 and 40 GB of storage. The Apple iPod+HP was originally intended to be available in "HP Blue".[2]

HP later added the iPod mini, the iPod photo, and the iPod shuffle to the lineup.[3] As these were officially HP products rather than Apple products, Apple Store Genius Bars were not authorized to repair Apple iPod+HP iPods, and they had to be sent to an HP Authorized Service Center for repair, despite identical designs.[4]

Deal termination

On July 29, 2005, HP announced that it would terminate its deal with Apple. Even though the deal was terminated, part of the deal prevented HP from making a rival digital music player (MP3 player) until August 2006.[5] HP continued to pre-install iTunes on home computers until January 6, 2006, when HP announced a partnership with RealNetworks to install Rhapsody on HP and Compaq-branded home players under the HP brand.[6]
