Watch this space. It's relatively empty right now, but it will fill up with dozens of news stories over the next few days.
Citizen journalist/enthusiast site AppleInsider (a blog precursor) is reporting that Hewlett-Packard, which recently entered into a strategic alliance with Apple to deliver HP-branded versions of the iPod under name 'iPod+ HP', has stopped placing orders for the digital music players with Apple Computer due to a dispute over price protections.
The bloggers recognize this is big news. Where's the press? Patience Danielson, patience. They'll be here soon.
