U2 lead singer Bono (R) and guitarist The Edge (L) perform during a news conference held with Apple after they introduced a Special Edition iPod U2 in San Jose, California, October 26, 2004. Apple Computer Inc. rolled out on Tuesday a new iPod that allows users to view and share photos, a dramatic expansion that takes the popular digital music player into the multimedia realm, while spurring its rivalry with Microsoft Corp. and others. Apple also has hooked up with Irish rock band U2 to announce the iPod U2 Special Edition, a black model of its popular digital music player that holds up to 5,000 songs. The new iPod Photo, which had been widely anticipated, is a multimedia device with a color screen and comes with 40 gigabytes or 60 gigabytes of storage -- two to three times more than the storage available on its most used music player.
