I thought this was pretty nice.
Apple came out with red for the new iPod nano, and apple is giving 10$ of every purchase to fighting AIDS funds. Obviously there are bigger funds, but seeing as apple is a huge superpower and thousands of people will be getting the new nano, I thought it was a nice gesture.
Random, I know, but I thought it was a good idea.
yeah i saw this on Oprah today :]!
theres alot of other things they're selling too for AIDS, http://www.joinred.com/home.asp shows what they're selling for it.
i think it's a really good idea... & im gonna buy some of the red stuff soon.
Nice iPod
Its definatly my color. If I were to get one (which Im not) that would be the color I'd get.
its quite sexy
I red about this earlier :P
I think it's great that Apple have followed suit and introduced a (Product)RED item, and it's brilliant that money will go to charity. However, it isn't much money to be honest; a little bigger donation would have been better.
I'm also disappointed that this has come out a month after the 2G Nanos came out. I went straight to the Apple Store and bought a blue one, although red would have been so much better for me. Plus that way, some of the money I spent would have gone to charity.
They did Red L7's aswell. I like this red iPod, it's very nice.
hmm I don't like it but its a good gesture :D I prefer my black one to be honest

But they make something like a 40% profit margin. If they gave 20% ($20) then 100 000 units would raise $2 million. It's going to take billions to help wipe out/cure/keep those alive who have AIDS, so the more the better.Quote:

Still, it's better than nothing.
I think red should be happy with what they get really.
Haha, it's 5% actually seeing as how theyre 200 dollars. The other products probably dont sell as much, so this will probably be a huge boost. Not argueing with you though, they could give more, but its a business.Quote:

Ah, i wish i hadn't bought my video, and instead bought this red nano, it looks a lot better than all the other iPods. :(
