The new i-Pod U2 Special Edition. As distinctive as the band it salutes. 5th Generation. Red Click Wheel. Black metal back engraved with the band's signatures. 30GB of storage with room for 7,500 songs, up to 25,000 photos and up to 75 hours of video.
Original of The Species
Like no other, iPod U2 Special Edition stands out. Jet black, it bears a prominent red Apple Click Wheel, a full-colour display and, on the flip side, the autographs of each U2 band member on striking black metal. Thanks to this unique partnership between U2 and Apple, U2 fans can finally find what they're looking for.
Even Better Than the Real Thing
No matter how many songs, podcasts or photos you bring with you, iPod U2 Special Edition remains small and light enough to carry in your pocket: It's no bigger than a pack of playing cards and weighs just 158 grams. It also offers up to 15 hours of battery life, so you can listen to music practically all day.
* Holds up to 7,500 songs and album art

Review by: cheekiedrakie (Bratt)
Dated: 29th of October, 2006
As an Avid Fan of U2, and someone wanting an iPod, when this opportunity came my way, i had to (metaphotically) leap at the chance.
An Awesome toy, and only 10.35 x 6.18 x 1.1 cm, 136 grams, with an amazing 6.35 cm colour display, uniquely iPod, yet equally uniquely U2.
It's the Ultimate accessory for the U2 Fan.
It's easy to operate, with an easy to use display interface, and lots of hidden goodies, that i didnt even know existed until i had this little baby out of the packaging. (such as solitare, or a contact list that automatically syncs up with Outlook if you want it to, gone are the days of the little black book.)
Never had a problem with this item yet, only squirmish with it is the battery life - it's advertised with up to 14 hours of battery life, when the most i've been able to use it for is twelve.
other than that a very funky toy, useful, handy, and very, very pretty.
