Special Edition iPod?

[MacRumors]

ThinkSecret reports that Apple is planning on introducing a special edition 40GB iPod at Apple Expo Paris as well as hints that the rumored iPod peripherals could also be released.

Few details are available on either product.

I read about this, its name is going to be the "Bling Bling" iPod, and its casing will be platinum and diamonds.

50 cent and snoop dogg already have one. That's going to be the main selling point.

as long as there are powerbooks too

With special edition engraving using quality cut diamonds to spell out "bling bling."

Finally, an ipod for the masses. I can't wait to get one, where does the line start...

Will rumored special edition 40GB iPod include COLOR screen

Imagine watching a downloaded DVD on your iPod instead of the airline's inflight movie selection.
How about BlueTooth for wireless downloads?
Breast pocket size subwoofer peripheral is out because of potential danger to those with pacemakers.

they're already pretty "special" - what could they do that would make it stand apart, without making it overly mass-produced?

 

[kb9000]

They need a special edition...

The current 3rd Gen iPods don't cause Pod envy yet (I have a 5GB).

News to me!

What would be cool, are iPod faceplates... The idea seems kinda cheesy at first, but look at what it's done for cell phones... It'll help people personalize them, and help Apple sell more...

Now, a special edition 40gb iPod... I'd be torn between selling my old iPod and buying a new one, and buying a new wireless keyboard and mouse for my PowerBook...

If the iPod has some sort of bluetooth connectivity, or is able to record, that would be really cool... We'll just have to wait.

Now there's something you don't see in the MacRumors forums every day - lol.

Special Edition iPod could really mean anything, I think. I suppose we shall see.

Twice I've been only pixels away from buying an iPod, but I have had some cash issues the last month or two. I have a birthday coming up in another month and a half though maybe somebody will surprise me.

I think I'd prefer the simple regular iPod, if BlingBling is the special I always thought the BlingBling style was pretty tacky.

 

[esheep2001]

I hear that these special edition iPods will come complete with a free dual G5. Apparently they've been stockpiling the G5's ready for this promotion and that's why no one has received theirs yet!

Sorry, but I'm going nuts now! If I don't hear something about dual G5's from Apple tomorrow or VERY soon afterwards I think I'm gonna... well... something!

e.

 

[qurlau]

Please let it be a new remote!

I really hope it's a new remote.

The best remote I've ever seen is the one that comes with the iRiver CD/MP3 players. It's nice to be able to view the song title information on the remote allowing for the iPod to be kept safe and snug.

 

[CrackedButter]

My guess it will be a G5 ipod... how special would that be?

Seriously however, if this is true then it had better be special.

 

[machan]

i'm guessing it's just going to be a colored ipod case, following the new ad campaign's color scheme. it'll be like 1999 all over again.

Three words ... voice recongition navigation.

I promise, I won't post this again (already wrote about it in the original message about iPod peripherals), but if anyone from Apple reads this, then maybe it'll spark an idea.
