iPod U2 and iPod Photo

Apple recently release iPod U2 and iPod Photo. The 20GB iPod U2 is sold at HK$2700 while iPod Photo at HK$3800 for 40GB and HK$4600 for 60GB respectively.

As a fan of U2, I would prefer the Black and Red iPod U2 instead of iPod Photo. The Photo idea and coloar LCD in iPod has long been the most requested feature but Apple has failed to launch it in timely fashion. Recently, there are products have photo storage and showing capability along side with other features such as video playing. The Zen Portable Media Center from Creative is a good example.

I want more. My ideal product solution would be a portable device that have the following features:

  • Cell Phone
  • Digital Music, Photo and Video (i.e. all digital media)
  • Wireless Network and Peripherals
  • Internet Communication and PDA functions

How far for Apple to provide such product? Or never?
