there is no such thing as charity in america, it always comes through commerce. why not just donate the $200 bux? does a lot more than the 10 bux you are donating now, so you can justify getting a new ipod. hell i would buy a red ipod just cos of the color i don't see why the cos has to be associated with it, if they're gonna do this they might as well just donate 10% of all ipod sales. at least it does something more than haveing a "show off" recipet for your so called act of charity.

"Hi i'm bono, there's a huge aids problem in africa and people don't pay attention, heres a new ipod"

wtf.

It was probably a huge feat to convince Apple to do this much. Apple is a company, and, as such, even charitable acts have to be justifiable as being good for shareholders (financially).

Until we change our laws regarding the roles of corporations in society, we will have to be thankful for even small steps.

I would happily buy a red Mac Book or iMac if it meant that 5% goes to a worthy charity, even though I prefer white, black and aluminum.
 
Those who held off buying the new nano are god damn lucky to have the option of the red nano.....Looks even better than the blue and green and makes a bold statement!
I love it!
 
It's yet to arrive in Australia or Hong Kong where I would like to buy it. It actually looks worth it, never wanted an iPod before. I hope they release it here.

Here's an idea... just send your money to a worthly charity on your own! Why does SOMEONE else have to donate THEIR money before you'll buy their products? Perhaps they should offer a 5% discount to anyone that shows they've donated $5 to the fund.

Sometimes I really wonder what logic people are using...

Because we want an iPod. Like the (RED) website says, it's not a charity, it's a business model.

Well your logic doesnt make much sense either, i'm sure it would be more hassle be able to prove you have donated, and it is the same amount in the end.

Not all people are of the same mentality, I regularly donate money to charity, and raise money through running sponshorship.

Do you do anything for charity?

what's with the apple site callig it "iPod Nano (Product) Red tm" ?

is that a typo? WHAT is trademarked? Why (Product)?

That's the name of the charity foundation.

It's the "(Product) Red iPod nano", if they were donating to the Make a Wish Foundation it would be the "Make a Wish iPod nano."

Have you not read this thread or any of the others or any of the information about the foundation?

there is no way apple would make a product release on a pre recorded program with an audiance. Thanks to the internet the release would no longer be a surprise!

well, they did and it wasn't, so presumably they believe the publicity generated by this release method exceeds the alternatives.
 
Does anyone know if any of the Apple Store locations (outside of Michigan Ave.) have these in stock yet?
 
What "new" product?

They've simply added a new color, not a new product....
