It's basically a black-and-red 20GB iPod, with U2 signatures laser-engraved on the back. Plus a $50 gift certificate for U2 songs, and a free poster. For $50 more.

Maybe if you really love U2, or really like the black-and-red color. Otherwise why?

Looks awful!!! The serenity of the normal white iPod is lost.

If it were all black including the click wheel I'd be all over it. The red wheel just makes it look ugly and goofy IMO.

iPod mini's are well nice. They're so small! And they look good. Esp the silver one!

It looks really cool with the red an black. Its kind of a waste of money buying it in another colour. Couldnt you just get an iPod skin ??

Personally, I think it would rule if Apple came out with all sorts of colors (think old iMacs) for the iPod. And I'm sure they will eventually... maybe when/if they come out with a flash based iPod, they'll market the original in different colors to keep interest up...

I wouldn't even be surprised if they were the exact same colors.

They do that with the iPod mini. I don't personally think it's a good idea, too much overhead to have to manufacture and maintain stock for multiple colors and who ever knows which will be popular (one issue with the original iMac).

I think just leave it white and let people buy different color cases that they like. Or like the iPod skins that HP is making.
