U2, Apple in iPod deal
Tuesday, October 19, 2004 Posted: 4:09 PM EDT (2009 GMT)

NEW YORK (Billboard) -- U2 and Apple Computer Inc. are expected to announce next week that they have signed a deal to sell custom iPods.

According to a source, the Irish rock band's upcoming album "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb," due Nov. 23 via Interscope Records, will come preloaded on iPods that will be available the week of street date.

Interscope, a unit of Universal Music Group, declined to comment; an Apple spokesperson could not be reached.

E-mails from Apple chairman and CEO Steve Jobs and U2 members Bono and the Edge have invited members of the press to a "special event" scheduled for Oct. 26 in San Jose, Calif.

U2's new single "Vertigo" is featured in current television ads for the iPod. The track is currently No. 2 on Billboard's airplay-based Modern Rock Tracks chart, and No. 44 on the Hot 100, which is based on both retail sales and radio airplay.

I wonder if they will be at Valley Fair or Oakridge, or maybe even at Adobe downtown.... HmmmMMMmmm.

fyi for Bay Area peeps,

~bump~

In case anyone missed this.

BTW, I bet they will go to The Tech Museum (Market Street and Park Avenue, between The Fairmont and Adobe Systems, Inc.)

I bet they stay at The Fairmont.

Someone let us know if you go down there to catch a glimpse of them or by chance get to talk to Bono (hey, it could happen)!
