Apple Hawks Madonna iPods

Posted by pudge on from the no-doubt-you-have-mp3s-at-your-beck-and-call dept.

danamania writes "Apple's latest promotion is a gimmick with Madonna, Tony Hawk or Beck's signature, or a No Doubt logo, on an iPod. It seems Apple's really pushing the iPod as a too-cool fashion accessory as much as a too-cooler MP3 player... is Maddie's signature worth an extra USD49 over the standard iPod?" Instead of $50 for the engraved signature, you can spend $20 to print "Madonna's Signature" in beautiful Helvetica.

  1. What about the lawsuit against the contractor? by jbuilder · · Score: 2, Offtopic

    Why is a Madonna/No Doubt/Cowboy Neal - branded iPod Slashdot-worthy, but this article isn't? Apple is filing a lawsuit against a former contactor for theft of trade secrets. It seems that this contractor posted schematics of new apple hardware onto the internet...

    Moderators, punish me if you must, but I think this bears mentioning on /. *way* more than a Madonna iPod does... Especially since I'm more of a KISS fan myself... ;)
