Star Wars Themed iPods

Doctor Q said:
I don't like the idea that iPods will be treated like Pez dispensers, with versions for every theme that somebody might want to sell or buy. It's another way to link the product to popular culture, but it also has the feel of a fad that will cheapen their image in the long run.

IMO this will only happen more and more.
That is the nature of fads.... and the iPod is a fad.
That is made evident by the way people talk about it right now.
Someof the main reasons everyone is lining up to get one is "because they are cool" and they have a great "image". Those statements have fad written all over them.

My prediction is the iPOD craze will slow down to a trickle of sales by the the end of 2006. Companies always dilute the brand of a product by making all kinds of silly branded items( like Apple is starting to do with the iPODs) once they start forcasting the tapering off of sales. And they do it trying to keep up the unit sales numbers which only causes the fad to die earlier.

You may disagree with me about the demise of the iPOD but I say watch and see.
 
Chewbacca Pod

Starwars Themed iPod- Chewbacca Pod.
Yea, not geeky at all. No, really.

Back to the orginal topic, I still don't think that the permotion is real, or is directly connected to Apple.

Why is Jobs partnering with Lucas? These are dark times. Revenge of the Sith? What kind of lame title is that?

Apple and Lucas go way back, and they have close ties with each other. I believe someone earlier in this thread even pointed some of the details out, such as Lucas using Apple's to remaster the original trilogy, etc. etc.

As for the title, it's no worse than "Return of the Jedi". :p :cool:

I want that case and a Star Wars themed iPod Photo, that would be the best thing ever!
 
Wrong Movie

This is NOT the StarWars themed iPod - this is the 5G Star Trek Themed iPod - the iTribble - comes complete with Tarellian Grain poket.

PS - I probably do not have the exact name of the grain - I was never a big ST fan beyone reruns and nights when even Springer was redundant (ok Springer is ALWAYS redundant) - but let's say for the record it was an alien grain from some alien world that doen not really exist - but yet the tribbles did love it.....

I thought about including a Tribble line in the original post, but I thought it to obvious. I still don't think that Apple would team up with Mars and Lucas for just 100 modified iPods.

I bet that there is some industrious geek out there that has stored all the Star Trek sound effects in her/his iPod(disguised as a tricorder), so that they can go to the conventions and add theme music and sounds to their actions through a set of speakers.
 
I think that is way better than the actual starwars iPod. Even though it more-so technically falls into the sock category. :D

Now if they actually glued the hair on, and if it grew, THAT would be a cool iPod. Well, as long as it didn't smell like a wookie. :p

You're right, apple associate yourself with really good cinema, like .."Old School", I think at least 5 people saw that movie.

I'd rather go "STREEEEAAAAAAKING!!!" (wearing only my Apple-themed iPod) than watching another pile of Star Wars poo at the theatre... "You know it..!"
