Apple Sells iPod Socks

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the color-coordination-is-critical dept.

Isao writes "Not paying any attention to the date, Apple has available the next must-have iPod accessory. Not headphones, not a remote, not even video. It's... socks. For the undressed iPod, a collection of socks, color-coordinated for any and every occasion. Be the envy of the sockless ones for a mere $29.95 (for six). No, really."

    The sad thing is that the only real news story on Slashdot today is a better joke than the AFJs.

    This has been on the apple site for months now, and I thought it was a joke when I first saw it.

    I tried for 5 years to come up with a clever sig...only to realize that I am not clever.

    Apple to offer iPod Socks
    October 26, 2004 - 16:54 EDT In addition to the iPod Photo and U2 iPod, Apple also introduced today a set of colored "socks" for carrying iPods. Packaged similar to real socks, the iPod Socks will come in six different color combinations (what appeared to be green, blue, grey, orange, pink, aqua) for US$29. While no information can be found on Apple's Web site, Apple CEO Steve Jobs said they will be available starting in mid-November

    Available since mid November of 2004, is the April fools here that slashdot is trying to pass this as news?
