AppleInsider StaffOver the weekend rumor began to spread that Apple and pop singer Madonna are collaborating on a special edition iPod that could be released soon.
According to the reports, the player is expected to be introduced during Apple's October 12th special event alongside fifth-generation iPods and several other product announcements.
Last year Apple entered into a similar agreement with U2 that produced a black and red special edition iPod that has sold well.
During a special event last month that saw the introduction of the iPod nano, Madonna joined Apple chief executive Steve Jobs over video-chat to announce that she was making her entire music catalog available for download through the iTunes music store.
Madonna had previously refused to place her music tracks online for legal download.
The pop singer also recently starred in a television ad campaign to promote the iTunes ROKR cell phone from Motorola.

Wow, who could be next! Falco? The lead singer of Human League?
One can dream.
glad to see new possible special edition iPods... I wish more groups would get into the act. How much would Madonna's whole collection eat up though? 4GB may not be so much space when confronted with Madonna's prolific career.
So far the iPod only appeases one sense-- hearing. A lot of people seem to be of the opinion that Apple is going to tackle 'seeing' next with a video iPod. I think if we really try, we can convince Apple to make the smellPod! Air freshener and music all in one. The AromaTherapod!
Who's with me?
Ok. PINK iPod nano... Madonna... mmmh... this sounds just... Gay (not that there's anything wrong with it...)
Hey, at least the ladies will be happy...
