First hand pictures of the new U2 iPod

Ash over at techpaedia dropped us a line to let us know about some photos he took of the new U2 iPod at an Apple retail store. The four photos over at his site show the rear black metal enclosure a little more clearly than the official ones on Apple's site.

Ash reports that "like the traditional stainless steel mirrored finish enclosure, it is a fingerprint magnet." We'd also have to assume that it scratches as easily as the reflective mirror finish on most other iPods too.

Now that Apple has created a completely black bodied iPod, how long do you think it'll be until they start bundling black accessories with its black products? Or will we just have to live with it, just like we've been living with the fingerprint and scratch magnet "feature" present on practically every iPod?

#4, breathe. first of all, if you want a better picture i'm sure more will come, or you can always head down to an apple store and check it out yourself. Secondly, they don't need to be top notch pictures, they're just giving a better insight into what it looks like.

those are horrible pictures. first, the blurry edge "enhancements" he made to the photos are unecessary and only take away from the actual content of the photos. second, he should have taken some of the side of the ipod or at some other angle to compare/contrast to the black color of the front. they also look too dark.

If they started to come with black buds, how would people know who to mug?

Wow, it looks nice. I doubt that they will start bundling black accessories because white is like the signature Apple colour. Take the white buds, black buds won't have the same effect.
