I haven't seen a topic here about it, so I thought I'd start one.

Oh, a new all-black enclosure with special black stainless steel back, has to be cool.

But I wonder why such 'premium' iPod comes only as a 30 GB model.

Why U2 again? There are other bands.

It'll be much easier if you just comply.

My U2 iPod made it/ The back of it is a classy combination with the black front. I just wish this could be the color combo without being a U2 edition. If you are a fan like me, the vifeo download is pretty cool too!

Although U2 is a great band, and I support all that Bono himself has done, spending that extra $$$ for a red clickwheel just doesn't do it for me.

I say bring out a new iPod already, and stop bringing back old designs just to make some extra bucks. I am waiting for a new iPod...why is it taking so long =(
