Did I mention that this hPod would be an exact 3rd gen iPod wearing HP clothes? Apple will make it on behalf of HP who will then sell it on.

Hmm, and if they can reduce the price by around £200 and make the battery replaceable I might be tempted These gadgets are just too darned expensive for what they do imho

£65 ain't going to happen, Apple doesn't play in the "commodity" price bracket.

Thats a 4gb Ibod weighing in around $249 dollars (which isn't that good as the 15gb model(replacing the 10gb afaik) is about $299) stateside......... dont't think it'll make £65 over here. More like £200

If you read the text above it's going to have less storage and be a new model. Probably around the 2Gb mark.
