RED iPod Nano In High Demand? RED MacBook?

Ugh, PRODUCT(RED)

I wish I could buy a red iPod that didn't have that smug livestrong bracelet air to it. How could you buy anything but the red iPod now without feeling like a huge jerk? They should have added the red iPod to their line, as a symbolic gesture, and then given $3 or something from every iPod nano purchase instead.

YThe ONLY reason why it's doing so well is Oprah's robots who will buy ANYTHING she endorses.

It's a known fact. My friend's wife wrote a book for women and she is trying to get Oprah to endorse it as she says that any author that gets their book on Oprah becomes and instant top seller....

Sorry, that's reality...

The perfect reason to release a red MacBook.

Why not have the iMac and Mini in black? Although maybe Red and Gold are better sellers lol

Actually, a black mini is perfect for the living room!!! I had not thought of that! I sure hope the iTV comes in black. I know how there is much disdain in the high end audio market about black components being boring, but I think the iTV/mini should not stick out on the AV rack.
 
What is it with this (product)-thingy? When I got the first ad about it in my email, I first thought that they had a standard template for new products, and someone forgot to add the name of the product, leaving only the placeholder-name ("product") in place.
 
noooo..........i just discovered this.....
please, dont release....its terrible...

A red anodised aluminium notebook to match the nano? Hell yes 😎

A red plastic MacBook? Would probably look pretty tacky.

Agreed, but while a red aluminum notebook would probably look cool, I still think the white (yeah, even though it's plastic) would look better.
 
how about the Macbook cameleon?






^^^^^^^^^^^ looks tight right. 😀



P.S. MACBOO! tommorrow
and PRO will never be red. aside from looking lame only consumer levels stuff will be red. a red mac mini might look cheesy. i beleive apple will go product (ninja gaiden...i mean leapoard) BLUE. but not until blue-ray

I'm calling for 16 million iPods sold this Christmas season.

I predict 19 million. I know, it is crazy based on that it isn't that much different in offerings as last year.

Perhaps as many as 85,000 Zunes will be sold in the same timeframe.
 
Red? no thanks. I saw the Red Nanos in Manchesters Apple Store today and I thought they were just fugly. Did persuade a mate of mine to actually buy an iMac. Which was fun.

I thought the same thing. I find it confusing.

Yes to the first part. But I hate all these "symbolic" products, money raising or otherwise, as-if someone with a red iPod or a pink bottle of water cares more than those with black iPods and clear bottles of water. It's absurd.

If Apple or an individual feels strongly about an issue they should just donate with out prodding by cheesy gimmick products. All Apple really had to do is say it's going to donate 5% of all nano sales this Q to Bono's charity. I really detest this new color capitalism that most likely won't help anyone other than the company participating and the foundation bureaucracy where the money is sent. And my Gd, Bono is already getting BILLIONS from Gates and Buffet. Is the paltry millions it will get from red iPod even going to make a difference? Red nanos do nothing but stroke the egos of its owners.
