Apple Computer on Tuesday released a new version of its U2 Special Edition iPod music player, with a 30GB storage capacity and 14-hour battery life for $329.
Like the first version, the black and stainless steel iPod has a red navigation wheel and is engraved on the back with the signatures of U2's four band members. The new model holds up to 7,500 songs, 25,000 photos or up to 75 hours of video, Apple said.
The first U2 iPod, which was released in October 2004, held 20GB, had a 12-hour battery life, and did not have video functionality. It was priced at $349. As part of an Apple partnership with Universal Music Group, the device came with a coupon toward the U2 digital box set containing about 400 tracks from the band's catalog, including some previously unreleased ones.
The new U2 Special Edition iPod comes with a coupon to download 30 minutes of exclusive U2 video footage from Apple's iTunes Music Store.
Like other recent versions of iPods, the newest U2 Special Edition will sync computers to automatically download video, podcasts and photo content as well as digital music.
Apple would not comment on how many of the original U2 Special Edition units have been sold.
It will stop between each and every song with a long annoying pause because the iPod is a broken freakin' music player! CD's do not have gaps and digital music should not also! Fix your broken player Apple!!!
Personally I was thinking who gives a f***! Who still listens to them now anyways. They haven't put out a CD worth anything since Joshua Tree.
And that U2 iPod is god awful ugly... OK, time now to go feed the starving children of the world and try to rid the planet of nuclear weapons while pushing for free trade so the farmers in Africa can buy more machine guns...
The original U2 Special Edition iPod did not come with the box set pre-loaded. A coupon was enclosed for a $50 disocunt on the purchase of the box set from the iTMS.
If people wanna be THAT stupid then let them be. I'm still on my original IPOD and will be until something totally new the actually appeals to me and that I find useful shows up.
If consumers (that is how the word is really spelled) believed they were being taken advantage of by Apple, the iPod would not be a marketing marvel. Consumers are getting what they want.

I thought that was the original intention, but instead they opted to
give the $50 voucher for later purchase.
anyone remember?
