Don't forget the HP-branded iPods too, which was also a bit weird. That was under Steve too.

Many of these retailers now sell Apple iPods. In hindsight, the subsequent sales explosion makes it look unnecessary [2] [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPod+HP http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPod+HP [2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPod#Sales http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPod#Sales
