Amaya Toman I Ianuali 2004, ua hōʻike ʻia kahi hiʻohiʻona iPod ma CES ma Las Vegas, kahi i hui pū ai ʻo Apple me HP. I kēlā manawa, hōʻike ʻo Carly Fiorina mai Hewlett-Packard i ka prototype i ka uliuli, ka mea maʻamau no nā huahana HP i kēlā manawa, i ka poʻe i hele mai i ka wā o ka hōʻike ma ke kahua. Akā i ka ʻike ʻana o ka mea pāʻani i ka mālamalama o ka lā, ua kaena ʻo ia i ka malu māmā like me ka iPod maʻamau.
Ua hoʻopili ʻia nā hui ʻo Apple a me Hewlett-Packard i kahi ala no nā makahiki he nui. I kona wā ʻōpiopio, ua hoʻonohonoho ʻo Apple co-founder ʻo Steve Jobs iā ia iho i kahi "brigade" kauwela ma Hewlett-Packard, ʻo ka mea hoʻokumu ʻē aʻe ʻo Steve Wozniak i hana pū ma ka hui no kekahi manawa, i ka wā e hoʻomohala ana ʻo ia i nā kamepiula Apple-I a me Apple II. . Nui nā limahana hou ma Apple i kiʻi ʻia mai ka papa o nā limahana HP mua. ʻO Hewlett-Packard nō hoʻi ka mea nona ka ʻāina e kū nei ʻo Apple Park i kēia manawa. Eia naʻe, ua lōʻihi ka manawa o ka hui pū ʻana ma waena o Apple a me HP.
ʻAʻole ʻo Steve Jobs he kākoʻo hoihoi loa i ka laikini ʻana i ka ʻenehana Apple, a ʻo kekahi o nā hana mua āna i hana ai i ka makahiki 1990 ma hope o kona hoʻi ʻana i ke alakaʻi o ka hui ʻo ia ke kāpae ʻana i nā clones Mac. No laila ʻo ka HP iPod ka hihia wale nō o ka laikini kūhelu o kēia ʻano. Ma kēia pōʻaiapili, ua haʻalele pū ʻo Jobs i kona manaʻoʻiʻo ʻaʻole e ʻae ʻia e hoʻokomo ʻia ʻo iTunes ma nā kamepiula ʻē aʻe ma mua o nā Macs. ʻO ka ʻāpana o ka ʻaelike ma waena o nā hui ʻelua, ʻo ia ka HP Pavilion a me Compaq Presario series computers i hoʻokomo mua ʻia me iTunes - ʻōlelo kekahi he hana hoʻolālā ia na Apple e pale aku iā HP mai ka hoʻokomo ʻana i ka Windows Media Store ma kāna mau kamepiula.
ʻAʻole i liʻuliʻu ma hope o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o ka HP iPod, ua hoʻolauna ʻo Apple i kahi mea hou i kāna iPod maʻamau, a no laila ua nalowale ka HP iPod i kekahi o kāna hoʻopiʻi. Ua kū ʻo Steve Jobs i ka hoʻohewa ʻana mai nā wahi he nui, kahi i hoʻopiʻi ʻia ai ʻo ia no ka hoʻohana ʻana iā HP no kona pono ponoʻī a me ka hoʻonohonoho maʻalahi i ka hāʻawi ʻana i nā polokalamu Apple a me nā lawelawe i nā mea nona nā kamepiula ʻole o Apple.
I ka hopena, ʻaʻole hiki i ka iPod kaʻana like ke lawe mai i ka loaʻa kālā a HP i manaʻolana ai, a ua hoʻopau ʻo Hewlett-Packard i ka ʻaelike i Iulai 2005-me ka hoʻokomo ʻana iā iTunes ma kāna kamepiula a hiki i Ianuali 2006.
Aloha ʻoe, ua hewa ʻoe i ka huaʻōlelo Hewlett-Packard. (Hawlett-Packard).
Mahalo, paʻa.
