Apple's U2 iPod Returns

After nearly a half-year absence, Apple on Tuesday relaunched the U2 iPod, this time based on the popular fifth generation 30GB iPod model. Like before, the device sports a black finish with a red click wheel and band member's signatures engraved on the back. As a bonus, new owners would be able to download 30 minutes of exclusive U2 video from iTunes upon purchase. The device retails for $329 USD.

"We're thrilled to continue working with one of the greatest bands in the world to bring U2 fans a special edition of the world's best digital music player," said Greg Joswiak, Apple's vice president of worldwide iPod Product Marketing. The U2 iPod is available immediately from the Apple Store and the company's retail partners.
