iPods sold by HP accounted for about 5% of all iPod sales. The popularity of the iPod has lead to massive profits for Apple, but not a lot was gained for HP. The original deal with Apple was secured by the former HP chief executive, Carly Fiorina, who was ousted from the company in February 2005. It wasn't until July that HP ended the iPod deal with Apple under new chief Mark Hurd.
