Good news for all the U2 fans in the UK and the Emerald Isle. The good folks of Apple have released a new version of the iPod U2 Special Edition, so if you missed it before here’s a second chance! The new U2 iPod will now be based on the fifth generation 30GB iPod which translates into 7,500 songs, 25,000 photos or over 75 hours of video. The new iPod U2 will now sport an ultra cool black enclosure and the now familiar red wheel. This one too like its predecessor will sport signatures of the band at the back; however the cherry on the cake is no doubt the exclusive 30 minute video footage of the band.

The new U2 iPod features Auto-Sync technology which not only keeps the iPod up to date but also automatically downloads digital music, podcasts, photos, audiobooks, home movies and music videos onto the iPod. This baby has an impressive battery life of 14 hours and is now available for £239 (inc VAT). So what you waiting for? Go grab this baby and be one step closer to your fav band. It’s not better than the real thing but hey its close!
