Bloody Typical! The day after I come back from London and my visit to the Mac World Expo guess what's happening? Apple are opening their first ever UK Apple Store. Why then? Why open the day after I come back? Of all the selfish things to do! Still… at least I'll be able to walk past and perhaps look through the window.

Speaking of Apple, what is so bloody special about U2 that makes them suitable to have a co-branded iPod released with them? U2 don't do anything musically that a million other artists haven't done before and since. Here's some ideas for alternate iPod co-branding:

An Elton John iPod that comes in Pink!

A Jamiroquai iPod that comes with a big fluffy hat!

A Green - Greenday iPod!

A Britney Spears iPod. This would have to be a fake iPod done just for fun, because people wouldn't buy an iPod with such poor output qualities and lack of depth.

A Madonna iPod that would change colour every time you played a different track.

A Michael Jackson iPod - changes colour like the Madonna iPod (except only has the choices of black and white) but would be aimed at children by including free lollipops and rides at MJ's fair ground.

A Beatles iPod - Would be crap and out of date but it would have a massive battery that would allow it to keep going even after most of the components had died.

I could keep doing this all night, but I'd better stop before this gets too sick.
