HP Launches Spring Lineup of Digital Music Offerings

HP (www.hp.com) today announced two additions to its Apple iPod from HP line of digital music players. The new iPod products allow consumers to carry and enjoy an extensive music and photo library wherever they go.

The Apple iPod from HP is available in two sizes - 30 gigabytes (GB), which holds up to 7,500 songs, and 60 GB, which holds up to 15,000 songs. In addition to a music library, the new players can each store up to 25,000 digital photos and can display them on a vivid, high-resolution color display.

Consumers can use an optional audio-visual cable accessory to share slideshows on big screen televisions and projectors.

"HP offers consumers simple, fun ways to enjoy and personalize their music and photo experiences," said Siobhan O'Connor, vice president, Consumer Brand and Marketing, HP.

The players come with a USB 2.0 cable to connect easily to a PC for syncing of music, playlists, photos and album artwork. Plus, extended battery life gives users up to 15 hours of music playback or up to 5 hours of slideshows.(3) Both models are backed by HP's Total Care customer support, which includes one year of phone support and a one-year warranty.

The new iPods are also compatible with HP Printable Tattoos, HP's innovative way to allow consumers to personalize their iPods with artwork, designs and photography.

Consumers can also upload their own photos and images to print as Tattoos at home. The ultra-thin HP Printable Tattoos are easy to apply and remove from the player's exterior.

HP Printable Tattoos are sold in 10-packs of printable glossy paper that are pre-cut to fit any Apple iPod from HP. The retail price for HP Printable Tattoos is $14.99.
