 The

specifications as the original Apple iPod, the case is black
in color with a bright red click wheel located front and center.
The red click wheel is easy to use when looking for your favorite
song or playlist. What makes this special edition music player
so special is that on the back of the iPod U2 is the signatures
of all the band members of the band U2. The colors of the
iPod U2 was designed after the colors of the U2 band's album,
"How To Dismantle The Atomic Bomb", which was released
2004, was the number one selling album on the top of the music
charts in 35 countries. The album sold over 8 million dollars
in sales.
The Irish band U2 was formed in 1976 in Dublin, Ireland. At
that time they were high school kids and the band was called
Feedback. A year later the band changed their name to Hype.
They won their big break in 1978 when they were discovered
at a talent competition by CBS records, and where given the
opportunity to record their first demo. The band continued
to remain unnoticed, until Island Records signed the band
in 1983.
Since then the band has had quite a lot of number one songs
on the North American and European music charts. The special
edition iPod U2 also has twenty minutes of skip protection
and can be take anywhere. Like the original iPod, the iPod
U2 can be synchronized to your iTunes software and Microsoft
Outlook contacts.
In North America, it retails for $329.00. Also included in
the price of the iPod is $50 off coupon to be used at the
iTunes Music Store towards the purchase of "The Complete
U2" album that includes a boxed set of over 400 of the
band's songs along with 25 unreleased songs. Another perk
that is received when buying this special edition iPod U2
music player, is that it also comes with a free U2 poster
of the band. The iPod U2 is definitely worth buying, especially
for a U2 fan.
