Pink ??

Wasn't Madonna associated with a previous special edition iPod? I remember seeing an iPod laser engraved with the signatures of select celebrities and I thought she was among them. I could be wrong.

Hmmmm. I wonder if it comes pre-loaded with pictures from her infamous "Sex" book?

ugggggggggh....steve is having this show just to promote some has-been?????

I can hardly wait for her to sing the parody of her hit song "Like a Virgin" for her nano:
"Like a Nano, scratched for the very first time..."

I truly hope this isn't the case. What a let down that will be.

Of course, as a Warner Mucous Group artist, this is all rather ironic given Bronfman Jr.'s recent rantings.

Dear God, no.

MW cent, as in "I wouldn't pay a cent for this thing."

Steve is showing his age (similar to mine's I guess -- oh "Karma Chameleon") -- making young kids (girls, really) buy cute Pink iPod Nands ... full of Madona's (who?) greatest hits. May be time for a younger CEO, or at least for the brilliant CEO to delegate marketing and artist partnering to a younger hipper P.R. exec. No?

SEX sells!

Maybe it will include the old nude stuff and some new more provocative stuff involving Brit Spear, 8 inch spike heels and whips.

The small screen may pose a challenge for the 'Blonde Ambition'.

I agree with MCCFR. If Warner and Apple are not on good terms, then they probably will not make a deal

i'm gay, but that's really gay.

"Hmmmm. I wonder if it comes pre-loaded with pictures from her infamous "Sex" book?"

Close. Instead of a scroll wheel it'll have a pair of pointed...

Also announced will be a Janet Jackson Special Edition nano. It'll be made from plastic and silicone, be clad with black leather, and feature a removable top.

Steve, I have this notion that you are reading these comments and not feeling good on this wonderful first long weekend of fall -- when you should be relaxing, and feeling very good for the fantastic job you are doing at your two companies, especially at Apple.

Please don't take it personally. It's all mostly in jest. And if we ruined your saturday, please accept an apology.

GB

Ugh

Don't be talkn bout Janet.

That's Miss Jackson to you.

Fox news will have a report on the iPod @ 2pm today

I'm waiting on the special ABBA edition...(hands wringing)...I can hardly wait!

Please, please, please....more Cowbell, too!

^ I'd watch it if it wasn't on Fox. Screw Fox.

I want a Janis Joplin iPod. Peach-colored and sold in a gift pack with a fifth of Southern Comfort.

How about the Al Jolson -
leave the color as black and white - and celebrate the first time the movies talked.

If it is Madona - I sell my stock

Luke,
Madonna recently released her music library on iTMS. That must be what you're thinking of.

----------------

Deride the possibility of this product if you like, but Madonna is an awesome star (not necessarily the most talented), and pink is the new black. Madonna a has-been? I'd consider her selling power before making that statement. Besides, the latest and greatest is usually flash-in-the-pan, marginal talent, package marketing. And, as has been stated on this site many times regarding many products: If you don't like it, don't buy it.

Like Apple, Madonna's been around for 20+ years — for a reason.

That being said, I can't imagine this special event would be based on a Madonna iPod and nothing else.

I am guessing this will coincide with the release of her new single which is to debut next week.

Ah yes. It is certain to be a Madonna event- a video iPod loaded with the movie "Evita".

This will make people WISH for a scratched screen.

Jobs is no dummy.

Shouldn't the Modonna version be 'Off White' instead of Pink?

This iPod will come with the new iVibrate feature.

little ho

I want one already!

Now Introducing the new iPod Fogie Edition...

What's this, the Has-Been Parade?
First U2, now Madonna?

What's next? iPod Special-Editions for the DEAD?
Literally! Dead musicians... Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon, Bob Marley, Arturo Toscanini... the list could be endless!

Sheesh!

"I truly hope this isn't the case. What a let down that will be."

Is there some reason why he can't announce MORE THAN ONE THING on Wednesday? Remember, the U2 iPod and the iPod Photo were announced at the same event.

I guess it isn't a mystery where people get the idea that people on the internet are always hysterical over things that don't really matter.

And Steve Varney on Fox news "predicts" a video iPod....

Oh wow!

Madonna is so past her appeal; it's not even funny. Pink is a color that is so faddish that this product, if true, will be relegated to quick obscurity like the disastrous iMac Dalmation and Flower Power. What's next? New Kids on the Block iPod? Sheesh!

Who cares what everyone else thinks about their choice in music? If you raised your hand you failed. Did it matter if the U2 ipod had something to do with U2? It got a black ipod out there didn't it? Black and red..even. Then there's the selling power part. Sure I'm not going to buy one, but apparently lots of people buy lots of madonna albums and songs so it's not a bad marketing move. Different colors and song certificates or fills are about the only apple appearance options besides barely visible laser engraving (make that color and it's owning). Hey...even if you don't like madonna you might like pink..no problem there. What's next is vying for the primary colors. (w/ jimi hendrix obviously getting the purple haze shuffle w/ resoakable earbuds ).

But seriously...it could be time to bring out a conservative or tribute ipod. A brass instead of chrome back and a wood fascia (make it jazz or whatever). You could even have the blues new orleans charity pod.

As long as the execution is either a) carried out with the same attention to detail that the product was originally designed with or b) one of the original manufacturing options approved at the final design stage; then the thing is golden.

How can people whimper about choice...oh that's right...everybody is worried that the next special event will be a let down. If you didn't get an invite you're not exactly putting time into it. Being a mac pundit you aren't getting paid gobs of cash like 'those' journalists. If you're a shareholder and you think prices were artificially inflated because of rumor and speculation regarding the event then look to the source of rumor and speculation and not the company.

Whatever...one more apple product to check out and another thing for the defacto idiots to declare inferior.

Will the scroll nipple be a darker pink?

Just wait until the silicone cases come out that make it stick out like a nipple. Cast from madonna herself

Check out the first scene in Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs"

An alternative explanation to the song "Like a Virgin"

Jaded ho gets "reawakened"

MW: Through

The Hangin' Tough Edition nano soon to be released. It includes a Very New Kids Christmas preloaded as well as the contact information for all of the New Kids, in the event that anyone is willing to give them work...

That's not fair, Donny did well enough in Band of Brothers....

"What's next? New Kids on the Block iPod?"

The Village People iPod

Madonna is not a has been, since when? You idiots out there should thank god that it's not a Mariah Carey iPod. People like her, is a has been, passe, not to mention, a ho, period. Why nobody mention that?

Think
Madonna MiniMac - MMM
Pink.

mmm gayest ipod ever.. and for me: thats Fabulous!

Luke, you are right about the engraved thing. Before U2 ipod, the Queen of Pop, Madonna, has engraved her signature at the back of a regular ipod. It was sold out within minutes.

ooooooohhh, I can't wait!

How about the Cher ipod or iCher
It could have plastic covers you can change - in other words you can dress your iPod

Pink Nano. My wife will want one immediately.

Thanks Apple. I'll have to pay for it out of my Intel Mac funds I've been socking away.

Will it come with a fake british accent?

No fake British accent, but it will fall off a horse quite easily.

I hear you can make it vibrate too. Using it as a vibrator not only helps women enjoy extra benefits from listening to the music but also cleans the screen from any scratches and polishes it to keep it's shine.

You have GOT to be kidding me!

ROTFLMAO!

Sad....

What, no Kiss ipod????

Gene will find a way to expoit this nonsense!

Don't underestimate the Generation X market. Big '80s acts like U2 and Madonna are still popular with thirty- and forty-somethings. Kinda like how the Baby Boomers won't listen to anything later than the '70s ...

I want an Elvis iPod.

Not sure though if it should be in blue suede or black velvet.

Yah for Madonna! I can't wait for the pink ipod! Btw, rest assure that the ipod won't fall from any high horses or have any fake accent, it will jus kill itself when her songs doesn't go to no.1, and it will contain songs featuring all black rappers and comes with a dog whistle, mmh, sound familiar eh???

Love Madonna and her pink ipod, finally. F*ck MiMi!
