iPod Nano Now Seeing Red
Posted by Richard Cunningham on 10/15/06 in iPod
The iPod is finally seeing red in the United States. Available now (according to Apple’s website), a special edition iPod Nano has been released that is part of The Red Manifesto that has become the passion of U2’s lead singer Bono. The Red Manifesto is a consortium of mainstream vendors (such as Apple, American Express, and Motorola among others) that have dedicated a portion of the sales of Red products to the world wide fight against HIV and Aids. This project was started in the United Kingdom and European Union countries earlier this year, but has now made it to the United States.
According to CNN: "Dozens of "(Product) Red" items will go on sale in the coming weeks by Gap Inc., Apple Computer Inc., Motorola Inc., Converse Inc. and Emporio Armani. Portions of the product sales will go to The Global Fund, an organization that fights AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria."
The red iPod Nano is now available at the Apple website (it shows shipping within 24 hours) for a price of $199. It is the standard 4gb second generation Nano. But for every one that is sold, Apple will donate $10 of the purchase price to the Global Fund to fight Aids in Africa.
