Am I the only one finding a resemblance? Has this been discussed?

One of Apple's co-founders worked at HP at one time?

It depends on what you were smoking when you saw that "resemblance" of yours ;) I'd be happy to try it out :>)

Hecube:

the letters hP oi are found in iPhone and that looks like HP-01?

;-)

P.S. stop drinking the hard water in Quebec, I can send you some softer water from B.C.

You know... I did not see how much they looked alike until you posted both pictures at the same time. Wow is that freaky or what. Good catch Hecube!

The only similarity is price.

(Oh, wait a minute -- the HP-01 costs far more.)
