Apple introduces Product RED iPod nano

The 2G iPod nano just got another color addition - red. The 4GB iPod nano has the same specs as all the others 4GB models. While the price is still $199 US Dollars, $10 dollars of each "Product RED" sold will go directly to the Global Fund to fight AIDS in Africa.

I think a "carbon fibre" skin would be more cool. Red is for italian sports cars, or for handbags

Well at least they are giving some money to a cause instead of keeping it for themselves.
More companies should do this in the computer world.
Lol now I can see pink ATI and Nvidia cards.....

I agree, this red one looks nice. All of the other colours seem to have a slightly 'faded' appearance, and this one is a nice vibrant colour. Still like my 1stG iPod more, just a shame they do scratch. Oh well, just means less people want to steal it from me.

I would have bought one of the red phones if I could but only the motorolar phones and some lower models by other brands come with the red charity versions and I want a good phone that lasts, no disrespect to the cause. If I break my nano, this is what I'll get.

Edit: I don't like the way Apple releases these later than the others. By now, a lot of people will have already though "new iPods!!! I want one!!!" and they might have bought the red one. I guess better late than never.
