Mickey Mouse iPod nano
Japanese outfit Rana has released a 2GB iPod nano themed around Mickey Mouse. Though it's unknown if it was actually approved by Disney, etchings of Mickey are everywhere in the product, from the special packaging though to the engraving on the back of the player. Also included in the box are special decals to place around the clickwheel, and a leather case, which comes with a removable strap and carabiner. Officially-sanctioned or not, the Mickey Mouse nano will not be around for much longer; only 500 have been produced, selling for 33,600 yen ($287) apiece. [via Akiharabara News]

I hope they got permissio
Disney is very protective of Micky Mouse and have sued bakeries for using the likeness of any of there characters. I'm not even sure how Apple would feel about it since they work with Disney as well.
