Ages ago when The Edge mislaid his work in progress copy of U2's new album, the band vowed that if it showed up online, they'd put the album onto iTunes right away... in light of the U2 iPod, I can't help thinking that was more self promotion of their iTunes deal than anything else.
Proof? Well, the album's readily available right now on the internet, but as the U2 iPod has been announced, do they really need to rush release the album onto iTunes? Nah. The postering's been done, the iPod is on it's way.
Besides, the version of the album available to download is more than likely the finished album, as opposed to the Edge copy (which is probably still under the seat of his car as we speak).
