from wat i can tell, HP is gonna sell iPods, that look like iPods, and work like iPods, but are "HP blue". Maybe with an HP logo.

Mainly, it's gonna mean that all HP computers ship with iTunes, and thus, iTunes Music Store. Market saturation == good for apple. Undercutting your lucrative hardware business == bad for apple.
