so we are waiting for the store to go down, they will then put the red ipod and the core 2 duo MBP on!!!

YAH!
 
The links on the store don't work yet, Just go to normal nano page.... No mention of it in the UK, is it a US only thing?

(I'm only saying this to annoy Mac-addict) Bring on Core 2 Duo MacBooks!

;)
 
So far it's a US-only thing. Haven't even heard of Product RED down here apart from the "red iPod" rumours on this site. There's certainly been no media coverage of Bono's venture.

U2 are touring here mid-November - probably a good time to launch.
 
As long as you dont actually mean it its ok but with the amount of threads that have core 2 duo Macbook pro in the same sentence is just shocking! and considering its only around 10% faster! Moving away from core 2 duo mbps, why isnt it international?! It would get more money for aids fund.
 
We have got the Product Red here in the UK, I myself have got a RED SLVR, which, although I feel good and charitable, was one of the worst purchases due to how horrible the phone is.

Surprising that there's no sign of the Nano here, maybe they're just taking their time updating.

Here Here!

And I don't mean to trivialise the message it's sending out: but it does look really good!
 
Looks great in red, I'm tempted to buy one... (I guess the UK store will be updated at lunchtime or something)
 
Suddenly, from the front row of the venue a voice broke out in thick Scottish brogue, ending the silence as it echoed across the crowd, the voice cried out to Bono "Well stop ****ing doing it then!!"



Yes that actually is very funny and spontaneous wit. Whether it is morally wrong to laugh or not, it is funny as one persons comment off the cuff to the other.
 
The links on the US store are now functional, 24 hours delivery.

For all those posters who think it is such a friggin' gimmick that Apple, Bono, and Oprah are doing this. Put your frackin' money where your mouth is and donate your next $199 to the program and don't buy one of these. Don't buy any Apple products for that mattter. YOU DON'T NEED IT. Oh, and if it is such a gimmick why do public radio stations have to give away so many products to raise their money?

Can't you see beyond your monitor the good this will do? First of all, people will be talking about AIDS again, if not for just for one day, many more. Gee, how many times does it come up on the MacRumors News Discussions front page? Yeah, right after what Steve Jobs had for breakfast. Second, money is being spent hand over foot for the most popular technology item on the market. Someone was smart enough to tap it. Good for them. Cash flow is king, even for non-profits. This will be a welcome boost to the programs helping people and countries faced with the worst pandemic in history.

If your buying an mp3 player today or during the holiday season, PLEASE BUY RED.

What don't you like about your phone? I've had a (RED) SLVR since June and think it's probably the best phone I've ever had!

(Then again, my previous phones were crappy old-style Nokias - so maybe that's to be expected) :D

Well it's on the front page but when you click 'Buy Now' it takes you to the iPod Store, which still hasn't been updated...
