Mine's been in progress since 8/6 [ And I just switched today. It breaks my heart to see people that receive it when they did it so much later than I did..

lol, well i kinda did my math, so if ppl that were 8/4 already recieved theirs a couple weeks ago, so that means it takes about 1 and a half months for the ipod to come, but since they added the HPs ALOT of ppl switched, so that will clear up alot of space and im hoping ill get my ipod with in a month maybe month a half...

I thought switching to the HP just puts us into two lines, for either one that's available first?

yeah -- I think what he is saying is that the hPods seem to be going out every day now. Since the hPod peeps are on both lists, their name get crossed off the iPod list therefore making the iPod list shorter. So, he will get his sooner. It makes sense. He may have to wait longer than someone who orders an hPod today. But if there were no hPod option he would most likely have to wait even longer.

for hpod its first click first send but for the ipods its still who went to IP3 first if their are any in stock.

It's on the free ipods site. It says you'll get either hPod or iPod. Whichever is available first.

no if u switched to HP then that means they cancel your order for the apple ipod, becouse if u were in 2 lines then u could be able to get 2 ipods, for example your HP ships and your apple ships 2 days later or something like that, and i dont think gratis would wanna take a risk like that, plus it says SWITCH to the HP ipod. so i really think there 2 different lines...

I ordered on 8/6, and i'm an 8/10er.

I made the HP switch last night, and I'll be watching the mail this week.

Also, i had 15 completed referrals, so I can debunk the rumor that more greens=faster shipment.

It won't show up right now but I promise it says that. It's in the mouse over before you press the button to accept the hPod option. Since I've already accepted the option it no longer appears on the screen for me.

Can someone out there who has NOT taken the hPod option take a screengrab and post to show.

I just switched today and I am 100% sure that it says you will get either hPod or iPod. Which ever they can send first.

Click below to change your 20Gb iPod to the HP 20GB iPod.

HP has begun manufacturing the iPod. They have more supplies on hand, and your order will usually ship out faster if you select this option. Their iPod is exactly the same as Apple's execpt another company makes the hard drive, and the packaging on the box is branded for HP. If the HP is available then we will ship it, but you may also get the Apple iPod.


thats what it says, and yea on the bottom it says u MAY get an ipod and if its true that u get into 2 lines if u switch then i really dont understand y gratis did it, but if it really is in 2 lines, thats cool with me i dont trust HP anyway. \

because, you know, the two models differ so much.

For the average hipster, it all balances out. You have another corporate logo tacked onto the back of the unit, but you also are one of the first to have it. Sort of win/lose.

and disastirousmurmur, your "y" and "o" keys are getting lonely.

i'm gonna try to do the 40GB switch when i get it anyway, so it really don't matter if I get hp or not as all stores around me seem to carry both...

the big difference is if you use a mac... HP support is useless to you... they don't give tech support to macs

nah HP puts in their own harddrive, and thats the only reason i dont want, my friend bought an HP computer and after a year the warranty ended on the second day or so his hard drive and flopy died, so umm yea.

My bro has an HP computer and even though I will never ever buy HP/Compaq/Sony/Dell computers, the HP is very very stable IMO.. it's been running win98se for about 6 years now with no format, it has never had any hardware problems.

I'm not alone, it seems..
Also, i'm a she, not a he.

Another also Yes, "switching" to the hp ipod puts you in TWO lines. I don't know how many times I've read that on this forum, but people still don't seem to grasp that concept. They will ship out whatever is available first to you, but if you switched to the hp later, then you're on the hp line later. But you're still kept on the apple line in case it starts shipping out again.
