Nothing at all besides the HP logo. I would go for the apple iPod. I heard the HP won't help you with iPod problems.

EDIT: Also HP doesn't have these.

60 GB :drools:

I have always wanted an Ipod since they came out years ago, I just never had the money. I still don't. The Ipod Photo looks awesome, though! The first Ipod with a color screeen and 60gb storage!

I do have a question though; once the battery dies completely, would I have to put all the music back on a second time? There may be times when I have to leave it for months without power.

No, the battery will never really drain 100%. Unless the user is an idiot. When it drains enough a message will appear and the iPod will shutdown. Even if you keep on starting it back up intill the battery is 100% drained, the music should stay on there.

THe Ipod uses a hard drive very much like you find in a desktop PC. It won't lose the songs even if you take the battery out.

Thanks. That is good to know. I only wondered because my Palm Pilot works like that. If the battery drains all the way, then everything is deleted. Now that I know it won't be, all the more reason to get one!

Its like your computer. Do you loose all your information when you turn off your computer? (Rhetorical question, I hope the answer is no)
