With the recent arrival of the iPod U2 Special—black and red, with the band's autographs on the back, and sold with a poster and a coupon for $50 off The Complete U2 box set—we wondered what other special iPods are around the corner.
With a blue-jean-looking skin, this iPod looks like it was found in a ditch off of Thunder Road after a night of partying down at Greasy Lake. It's signed by all the members of the E Street Band, with Little Steven's name crossed off and written back in—twice. It comes with a used bandana and a coupon for a free copy of Nebraska.
The only iPod with a skin that changes color from black to white with the passage of time. It comes with various attachments that can further change its appearance until you wind up with a Walkman. Signed by the King of Pop, Janet, LaToya and the rest of the family, except for Tito, it comes with a copy of Jackson's contract with Sony.
Costing twice as much as a regular iPod, this special punk edition is guaranteed not to work, thanks to the safety pin rammed through its center. It comes with a certificate of authenticity, promising that it was spat upon and stomped on by Johnny Rotten, the iPod's distinctive white ear buds (with one ear bud torn off, exposing raw wires) and a British pint glass, perfect for smashing against a counter and ramming in someone's gob.
Be the envy of all your homies with this platinum, diamond-encrusted iPod. It comes with a heavy-duty clip, guaranteeing it will never fall off your pants, no matter what your moves, fully spinning click wheel, the inscription, "Thug Life 4-Ever," and a mock bullet hole.
Take off the hemp wrapping and unveil this boldly colored iPod, with stripes of green, yellow and red. It comes with a pack of Zig-Zag papers, a $50 coupon good for any purchase at Domino's, and ... uh, yeah, cool ...
A distinctive bulge is added to the iPod's streamlined body, sure to catch the attention of your pussycat friends. With a bronzed skin and patent-pending "hairy" coat, it also comes with a pair of women's panties, a hotel room key and a $20 coupon good for a purchase of the She's a Lady box set, two-drink minimum included.
