Miami -- PC maker HP on Friday unveiled a branded iPod digital music player as part of its new consumer digital electronics line that includes cameras and photo printers, home theater projectors and entertainment-based laptop and desktop PCs. In partnership with Apple, HP will sell a 20GB iPod for $299 and 40GB model for $399 -- the same price Apple charges -- and also offer "printable tattoo" water-resistant skins for the players that feature either album cover art or consumers' own personalized artwork or photos. HP is currently taking pre-orders for the branded iPods and will begin shipping them on Sept. 15.
