The Bottom Line			The iPod U2 certainly isn't for everyone, but its target audience (namely, U2 fans) will love it, and will pay the extra $30 for it.	Apple's fourth-generation iPod delivers notable improvements to an already excellent product--and at a lower price.	We love almost everything about this beautifully designed player, but the battery life could be longer.
