U2 iPod: Any Color You Want, As Long As It's Black 489
dave writes "Forbes is carrying the story that U2 and Apple will be releasing a custom black iPod that comes preloaded with the band's new album as well as portions of the band's 25-year back catalog. The custom iPod will be made available the same week as the new album, which is slated for release in the U.S. November 23rd. The article also talks about the larger deal which included the advertisement for iPod/iTunes and exclusive rights for iTunes to sell the album online for the first few weeks of release." skyshock21 adds a link to this article in Revolution Magazine.

This portable mp3 player seems nice and I've been shopping around for a while but I still haven't found what I'm looking for.
Does it have additional GPS functionality in case I get lost where the streets have no name?
They initially went with Rio but with the faulty hard-drives, the "Rio Lemon" just wasn't going to be popular.
They were also pitched a deal with Microsoft but Bono didn't like the idea of Ballmer dancing to Mysterious Ways...and Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me for that matter.
I heard the new black ipod is nature-proof and can be used even in places of high elevation.
Asked if the band actually uses the product, Bono admitted that both he and The Edge owned One...but they're not the same.

I doubt that. Most of the U2 fans I know are incredibly white. Hell, you practically need special glasses to see them.
