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.
