Over the span of two decades, Apple made a bunch of iPods. The original may have been just a single 5 GB player delivering 1,000 songs in your pocket, but the line spread from there to meet the needs of many more users. The iPod mini, iPod shuffle, iPod nano, iPod photo, iPod classic and iPod touch all enjoyed time on store shelves.

The first-generation U2 iPod is probably the most well-known. To create it, Apple took a 4th-generation iPod, but tweaked the colors and had the signatures of the band members engraved on the stainless steel back of the iPod:

Over the years, I’ve heard people say that this iPod came loaded with all of the band’s music, but that isn’t entirely true. Here’s a bit from Apple’s press release at the time:

Apple has created the online music industry’s first-of-its-kind “Digital Box Set.” The first digital box set, “The Complete U2,” will contain over 400 tracks, including all of the band’s albums and over 25 rare and unreleased tracks. U2 fans will be able to purchase and download The Complete U2 with just one click on the iTunes Music Store in the US and Europe beginning in late November for just $149.
