Call me silly, especially living with an audiophile - but I just discovered that Maxell is selling specialty earbuds that would match the U2 iPod. Boston-area retailer Newbury Comics had them in their newspaper ad today for the low-low price of $13.88 - online they range in price upwards of $25 plus shipping.
I just received in my in-box an email from Four5One Creative promoting that they still have soft-covered editions of their Stealing Hearts at a Traveling Show for the low-low price of 25-Euro / 17-STG / 32-dollars plus post and packaging.
The books are even signed by Steve Averill and Shaughn McGrath! To order yours, visit: http://www.four5one.ie/shop/. You can also watch an interview with Steve and Shaughn from the site as well.
If this all sounds familiar, Shaughn McGrath spoke to U2 fans at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame when their work was exhibited back in 2003. To read more about it, check out the @U2 story here.
This is a *must have* book for any U2 fan as it traces the artwork and design of the band over the course of 20 years, and is written by those responsible for it all.
Apple recently announced a new and improved U2 iPod for a lower price: they’ve added a full-color display and dropped the price down from $349 to $329.
Purchase still includes $50 off the digital boxed set, which otherwise goes for $149.99.
Also, TEN Technology recently announced their release of a remote control for the U2 iPod:
The AppleInsider web site reports that Apple Computer has asked some dealers to return their stock supplies of the iPod Photo and iPod U2 editions. Word is that this is some sort of preliminary step before Apple changes/updates the product line. Why it would involve just the photo and U2 editions is anyone’s guess……
