14 DAY TRIAL // As a fan of the Beverly Hills, 90210 long-running, prime-time television drama series, you don't even have to like Apple's iPods to want this baby in your pocket. The folks at CBS believe that a custom "Beverly Hills, 90210 Limited Edition Apple iPod Nano" with your name just under the artwork makes for a great product. Have a look at it and tell us what you think.
Besides slapping the four main characters of the series on the BeverlyPod, you get to have your name featured just below the picture. Even if you have a long name like Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, you can still get it fitted on either an 8 or 4 gigger - 30 characters or less, says CBS. How can you fit 30 characters on the iPod nano and still be able to make out the name? Who with a 30-letter name wants the whole thing on the iPod instead of a nickname? Who has a 30-letter name anyway?
The Beverly Hills, 90210 Limited Edition Apple iPod Nano 8GB is "the ultimate Beverly Hills, 90210 collectable," according to CBS. "Catch up on Beverly Hills, 90210 episodes anywhere! Now the world's most popular music player lets you enjoy episodes of your favorite show, watch movies, video podcasts and more. The Beverly Hills, 90210 iPod Nano is custom laser etched with officially licensed artwork, each is numbered and only 2000 are available in this exclusive limited series. Personalize your collectable Beverly Hills, 90210 iPod by adding your name (up to 30 characters) for security and self expression," says the largest radio and television network in the US.
Everything that normally ships with a regular iPod Nano is also in the box with the Beverly Hills, 90210 Limited Edition from CBS. This includes earphones, USB 2.0 cable Dock adapter, polishing cloth, stand and documentation.
Wouldn't it be great to be able to order your custom nano with just one favorite character from the series? Just a (Kelly) thought.
CBS notes (and asks you to note as well) that, due to the custom nature of these products, they cannot accept returns. Colors include black, blue, green, pink and silver for the 8GB model and black and silver for the 4GB version of the nano. All you have to do is select the desired iPod model (8GB - $269.00; 4GB - $219.00), specify the color you like and type in your name for the Personalization Text. The name is optional, by the way, for those who like to keep it clean.
