U2 - BONO DONATES IPOD TO ENCOURAGE AN END TO POVERTY

U2 rocker BONO has given the Japanese Prime Minister an iPod in a bid to help end poverty in Africa. The singer was attending a meeting with former British prime minister Tony Blair and Microsoft mogul Bill Gates on Saturday (26Jan08) when he handed the gift to Yasuo Fukuda. But the Irish star was modest enough to refrain from adding his band's music to the mp3 device. Fukuda asked Bono whether his any of his tracks were preloaded onto the iPod, a quick-thinking Bono responded, "No, but you can download it," reports the New York Daily News.
