iPods

This page is made so people can see what Limited Edition iPods exist, Nanos as well as Touch. Apple did a great job on having some awesome limited handheld devices on the market. Thanks to other sites like IGN etc. here is a complete list of Limited iPods. By clicking on a image,you will get redirected to a bigger image,remember that.

10. Beverly Hills, 90210 iPod Nano

At IGN, we’re not renowned for critical praise of series like Beverly Hills, 90210 but our hats are off to CBS for this limited edition Nano. Intense loathing for the series aside, credit must be given where credit is due, and fitting the faces of Shannen Doherty, Tori Spelling, Jason Priestley, Luke Perry onto a tiny iPod Nano is no easy feat.

Available for a limited time through CBS’ online store, this 4GB limited edition Nano fetches for $269.99 with name engraving included. Who exactly would pay $120 more than the retail cost of a standard Nano for Luke Perry’s likeness etched on the back? We’re not sure, but whoever they are, they are probably going to hide this piece of MP3 hardware like the guilty pleasure it is.

The limited edition Beverly Hills, 90210 iPod is available online in five different varieties: black, blue, green, pink, and silver.

9. Family Guy “It Feels So Good” iPod ClassicWe hate to fall completely into the gamer-geek stereotype, but we had to choose this limited edition Family Guy iPod from FOX. But honestly, how many people could really say that their iPod has a talking dog dragging its butt across a tower of words? Well, only 2,000 it turns out. Available for a limited time, this 160GB iPod Classic is only one of 2,000 in existence. For $439, $90 more than the stock iPod, you can have Family Guy’s Brian scratching his butt saying “That Feels So Good” etched onto the back of your iPod.

Each one of these babies are etched with licensed art from the Family Guy camp and individually numbered. As is the case with the Beverly Hills, 90210 iPod, you can also have custom body of text of up to 30 characters engraved onto the bottom. They also come in two color variations, black and silver.

8. (Product Red) iPod Nano and iPod ShuffleWe may not love the color red, but we do love supporting a good cause. These limited (Product) Red iPods come in two varieties, Shuffle and Nano, and both cost the same as any other iPod model. Both the (Product) Red iPod Shuffle and Nano are available exclusively through the Apple Store and when purchased online, come with free engraving if you so choose.

Fifty percent of all revenues from these (Product) Red iPods are given to The Global Fund’s (Product) Red initiative, which works to combat AIDS in Africa. The (Product) Red iPod Nano is of the 8GB variety and can store as much as 2,000 songs, while the Shuffle is 1GB, costs $49.99, and can store 240 songs.

7. U2 Edition iPod

This limited edition U2 iPod may be a throwback to Apple’s monochrome era, but it remains one of the coolest iPods to date. Sure, U2 may not be our favorite band, but at the time, the U2 iPod was the first iPod to come in black.

Produced in support of U2’s 2004 release “How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb,” this sleek black and red 20GB iPod came with a $50 coupon to be used toward purchasing “The Complete U2″ collection off of iTunes. The limited edition U2 iPod also came with the etched signatures of Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr. on the back.

On the tech side of things, the limited edition U2 iPod was also one of the last iPod iterations to feature FireWire connection, which for the sake of lowering production costs, was later abandoned.

6. The Simpsons “Homer Tested” iPod TouchWhat limited edition iPod list that includes a Family Guy model, would be complete without an entry from the legendary animated series, The Simpsons. Byeyond the fact that this iPod has Homer Simpson’s lovable mug etched onto the back of it, it is the first on our list to be of the new, iPod Touch variety.

Following the Family Guy iPod tradition, FOX opted to only produce 2000 of these babies, and of course, at an exorbitant price. For nearly $100 more than the base model, you can have this limited edition Simpsons iPod. As was the case with the Family Guy model, the “Homer Tested” iPod Touch is numbered and can have up to a 30 character line of text engraved into it.

5. Star Trek iPod TouchThis limited edition iPod comes from EtchStar.com, a company who specializes in custom etching. One of 200 made, this model is a product of a partnership between EtchStar and the Star Trek franchise. To further delineate itself from other iPods, aside from the large Starship Enterprise etched on the back, this iPod comes etched with its unique number on the back. If a buyer is so inclined, EtchStar offers up to five additional lines of engraving space for enthusiasts to place their favorite Star Trek quote.

Naturally, such limited awesomeness does not come cheap—the 16GB Star Trek iPod Touch starts at $469, with no additional cost for the custom engraving. Is the Star Trek iPod Touch worth an extra $169 on the list price? We’re sure many die-hard Trekkies will think so.

4. 24 iPod TouchJack Bauer may not be back on the small screen until January of 2009, but he can live on, on the even smaller screen of this limited edition iPod touch. Another offering from FOX, this limited run iPod is again, only 1 of 2000. Each one sold comes numbered and with the ability to be customized with a custom message or name engraving.

The biggest selling point of the LE iPod, for 24 fans anyway, is the impressive Counter Terrorism Unit: Domestic Unit – Los Angeles logo, complete with majestic eagle. Unfortunately, this limited run model, like the other FOX customs, does not come preloaded with any 24 content.

This model does, however, fetch the highest asking price of any limited edition iPod on our list thus far—a whopping $599. Which begs the question: what would Jack Bauer do? Our guess is he’d probably beat it out of some unsuspecting iPod owner, which is the total opposite of what you should do, but a funny mental image nonetheless.

3. The X-Files iPod NanoContinuing on in our countdown, we come to the foremost representation of the nerd culture: the limited edition X-Files iPod Nano. Produced in support of The X-Files: I Want To Believe, which we can all agree was totally overshadowed by The Dark Knight and should thus not be written off as a “bad” film…

But we digress, this limited edition Nano features the closest thing to an image of Scully and Moulder walking off into the sunset—a sea of shadowy figures being monitored by helicopters. Like the other FOX iPods that have come before it, the X-Files iPod is rare, with only a handful made. As to be expected, each is individually numbered and comes with customizable text space.

The cost of said piece of rare merchandising? $269. A modest price for such limited edition sci-fi sexy.

2. Street Fighter iPod NanoAs the second line of EtchStar products to make it onto our list, these limited edition iPods are the first gamer-inspired limited edition iPods to date. Another fortunate licensing partnership for EtchStar, Capcom has provided the art for a whole line of Street Fighter iPods. The announcement of these limited edition products is relatively fresh off the press, having only been released on August 12th, as such, pricing and availability are still TBA.

Nonetheless, no lack of details could prevent us from including these Chun Li and Ryu emblazoned iPods, which are also reported to be include: Akuma, Balrog, Bison, Blanka, Cammy, Deejay, Dhalsim, Ehonda, Guile and more.

Personally, we like the Vega version—fully equipped with hand-clawed goodness.

1. The Beatles iPod ClassicThe Beatles haven’t had a good relationship with Apple—in 2006, The Beatles sued Apple Computers for trademark infringement. The suit, which inevitably fell in Apple’s favor, was the cause of speculation as to why The Beatles’ catalog was not available on iTunes. To this day, The Beatles catalog is still not available for purchase on iTunes, but that hasn’t stopped the Bloomingdales department store chain from releasing their own limited edition Beatles iPod.

Announced in early July, Bloomingdales has dubbed the 2008 holiday season “Beatlesmania”….Well, at least in their stores. The company has reportedly retained exclusive rights to images, photographs, posters, album covers, and promotional materials in order to be reproduced in a variety of ways, most notably a limited edition iPod preloaded with Beatles tunes.

A poor artist’s rendering (pictured above), indicates what the Beatles iPod may look like this winter—a vibrant Yellow Submarine yellow—but we have higher hopes than a simple splash of color. With any luck, the Beatles iPod will feature a detailed artist’s rendering of the band or perhaps some Beatle’s inspired art, but only time will tell.

In addition to being one of the most hotly anticipated limited edition iPods on our list, the Beatles iPod is actually the rarest. Although details regarding pricing and availability have not been officially announced, the Beatles iPod is sure to be one of the most expensive and hard to find limited edition iPods to-date.

iPods, respectivly, always had a huge fan base and was always loved by all. That’s why it is so open to all kinds of Limited versions of it. This page will change,whatsoever probably tomorrow,so expect more Limited Edition stuff to come.
