U2 iPod Gets Reincarnated
Does this black and red iPod look familiar? It should. It's the second coming of the U2 iPod.The original iPod U2 Special Edition was announced on October 24, 2004 and was the first black iPod Apple ever produced. Apple discontinued it about a year later on October 12, 2005 and rabid U2 fans have been without a Rattle & Hum to satisfy their portable music needs ever since.
Operating under some Mysterious Ways, on 06.06.06, (the day of the devil???) Apple announced a reincarnation of iPod U2 Special Edition. The encore version is actually $20 cheaper than the original but has a bigger hard drive, color screen and is video ready.
Like the original U2 iPod, the new version comes with the autographs of each band member engraved on the back (black metal this time, not aluminum) and a coupon for U2 content from the iTunes Store. The exclusive content offering includes 30-minutes of music videos and band interviews.

Cool! The back of the iPod is black metal instead of silver. Alot nicer than the old U2 iPod. If I was a fan i'm sure i'd love this. I was never too big on the red click wheel on the U2 iPod's, but I suppose each to his own.
