Yesterday afternoon, Apple introduced a special edition iPod - we figured Steve Jobs might have iPod news hiding up his sleeve. The black and red U2 Special Edition comes with a poster and a $50 iTunes coupon you can use in the iTunes Music Store to buy U2's "The Complete U2" digital boxed set.

Did we mention U2? Their signatures grace the back of the iPod and Bono and Edge (SFist goes by one name, too) were on hand for the launch at the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose. After seeing the the ads flash by while our TiVo is on fast-forward we've been anticipating the new iPod. The black looks cool but it still comes with the white headphones so you can spot fellow iPod users at 20 paces and flirt with them on CalTrain.

Also launched today is iPod Photo, which puts photos onto an iPod. Yes, with the music. It took us a minute to figure it out, too. This means color iPods. We could have told you it was coming because Apple always releases cool new things a few weeks after we finally break down and upgrade.

If you can't listen to U2 on your iPod, you could check out Zoo Station's "The Complete U2 Experience" on Saturday at the Last Day Saloon.

Ed. Note: All you have to do is talk to us. We're needy. Thanks for the new content, Mary-Lynn!
