Apple Hawks Madonna iPods

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.

"too-cool fashion accessory as much as a too-cooler MP3 player"

Two years from now, will it still be cool?
Two years from now, my Nomad Jukebox 5gb (c. 1956) will still nice-looking due to it's timeless design.
But, soon enough the "clean" look will be "out", and iPod sales will drop. Mark my words.

They can never redesign it though, so they'll proabbly just curl up and die.
