Bloggers Break Big Apple, HP Scoop

Watch this space. It's relatively empty right now, but it will fill up with dozens of news stories over the next few days. Citizen journalist/enthusiast site AppleInsider (a blog precursor) is reporting that Hewlett-Packard, which recently entered into a strategic alliance with Apple to deliver HP-branded versions of the iPod under name 'iPod+ HP', has stopped placing orders for the digital music players with Apple Computer due to a dispute over price protections. The bloggers recognize this is big news. Where's the press? Patience Danielson, patience. They'll be here soon.
