HP and Apple announced today that the HP-branded iPod will be available in September. “HP has chosen iPod and iTunes as the best products to integrate in to our digital entertainment strategy,” said HP CEO Carly Fiorina. “We decided to wait for this amazing new fourth generation iPod, as it will offer our customers an even better experience. HP’s version of the new iPod will be available in September.” In early January, HP said that it would begin selling a branded version of Apple’s iPod and bundling iTunes with its desktops and notebooks as part of a new partnership with Apple.
