—

The newest special edition iPod to hit the market comes from Prince. It is purple, it is produced in a limited batch of 950, and it will cost you $2,100. But at least it contains every Prince song ever recorded, right? Nope. From what I can tell, the only thing the gadget comes preloaded with ...

Limited edition Prince Opus iPod touch just wants your kiss (and $2,100)
Engadget — ... a luxurious book of Prince photographs from Kraken Opus, this touch (of unknown capacity) comes preloaded with 40 minutes of "exclusive" footage along with a live soundtrack from Indigo Nights. Of course, it's also doused in purple and splashed with Prince's symbol 'round back, but even with only 950 kits available, we still say the $2,100 price tag is far too lofty. Hate to break it to ya, Opus, but those hedge funds are no longer partying like it's 1999. [Via All Things Digital] Filed under: Portable Audio, Portable Video Limited ...

Price of Prince iPod will make doves cry
Macworld — ... model, going from the volume buttons on the side. It also comes packaged with an exclusive book of Prince photographs, produced by publisher Kraken Opus—say it with me: “oooooooh.” And what does this magnum opus cost? A mere $2,100. At that price, you’d better be one of the top 950 Prince fans in the world. Don’t worry if the economy’s got you down, though: Kraken Opus also offers zero percent, interest-free financing for all your limited-edition-purchasing needs. [via All Things D ]

Prince iPod Touch is Really, Really Expensive (Really)
Gearlog — U2 jump-started this whole custom-iPod trend back in 2004. Since then, Apple has released a few other customized versions of its nearly ubiquitous MP3 player. The limited-edition players generally carry a bit of a premium for their customized hardware and bundled software. Still, as far as extra cost goes, those players have nothing on the $2,100 Prince iPod. The purple iPod Touch isn't available through Apple (not even it could get away with that sort of price hike). Customers have to buy it through Kraken Opus, a high-end (like $6,247 high-end) manufacturer of books. So, what does a little over $2,000 get you? A purple iPod, 15 songs, and 40 ...

Limited-Edition Prince iPod Is Purple Lame
Wired: Gadget Lab — Insane fans of Prince can worship the musical maestro by purchasing his limited-edition iPod Touch — for the price of $2,100. Here's the best part: You don't gain access to a full library of Prince music. Rather, the purple Prince Opus iPod comes preloaded with a 40-minute concert video and 15 songs from a live soundtrack. Only 950 Prince iPods are available. So why the hefty price? Well, you're also paying for a high-end book of Prince photographs that comes bundled with the iPod. Kraken Opus, a British publisher, produced the photos. Peter Kafka of All Things Digital points out that this is, strangely enough, a deal: Other books by Opus run up to ...
