Apple releases 5G U2 iPod

In a surprise under-the-radar move, Apple has launched a red and black U2 version of the iPod. "Back for an encore," the 30GB U2 iPod Special Edition, will be available for $329, laser autograph and all. For the extra $30 (a normal iPod costs $299), you get an exclusive iTunes Music Store coupon redeemable for a 30-minute video of music videos and band interviews.
