Quick overview
After several previous collaborations, Irish rock group U2 and Apple have partnered to release the sole special-edition iPod to date. The iPod U2 (20GB only) shares most of its characteristics with the fourth-generation iPod but boasts a few key differences. The most noticeable is the player's black body and Ferrari-red scrollwheel.
Flip over the device, and you'll find another distinguishing design tweak:
the signatures of all four U2 band members have been laser-etched in the iPod's
shiny, silver rear casing, which also features a U2 stamp and the words special
edition.
To tie in with the U2 iPod, Apple have also released the world's first "digital
box set," comprising the entire collection of U2's albums as well as unreleased
demos and live recordings -- more than 400 songs in all. Entitled The Complete U2, you must use a broadband connection to get
it. Purchasers of the U2 iPod are rewarded with a coupon for £50 off the
price of U2's digital box set as well as a poster of the band.
