Despite the existence of various iPod accessories such as differently coloured headphones and alternative cases, the estimated 2 million iPods around the globe essentially all share the monotonous core aesthetic of being white.

This fact is set to change however, with a newly released Apple iPod 4G Click Wheel with 20GB that is going against the grain by being manufactured in black.

This black 4G iPod comes as standard, with space for 5000 songs, 12 hours playback and easy-operation click wheel, but is specially limited, with only 20 available on the market.

The rare iPod comes with an extended 12-hour battery life, the option of using either FireWire or USB and the ability to play MP3, Aac and Apple Lossless.

Unsurprisingly, an in-demand item of such rarity as this is reflected in the price. £500 will get you noticed, over double the price of a white version.
