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.

    "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.
