What could make an iPod Touch worth $2,100?

It's the special Prince edition — and it doesn't even have all of Prince's music in it.

I bet it won't fit on the too small touch.

Yeah, well... Prince's pants (Warning: NSFW!!!!) didn't even have all it's fabric on it either. I think that's a theme with him, less is more, or at least somehow artistic, yadda yadda...; 4/14/09, 9:32 AM

veni vidi vici said...: Of course, if you really want a purple ipod and no other color will do, it may be worthwhile to buy this one regardless of price. i remember thinking that the "U2 ipod" of a few years back, in black and red versus the standard ubiquitous white ones, was kind of neat. but i still don't own an ipod; i'm still sporting a "discman S2" to the gym or on the jog with me, to play the gazillions of CDs i own and don't have the patience to now "rip" on some shitty lossy compression-compromised format to fit on an ipod.

oh well.; 4/14/09, 9:18 PM
