RED iPod Nano Tomorrow?

At the end of the day we're turning charitable support into a fashion statement and not a concern for our fellow man. People only seem willing to open there wallets when they have something to show off the fact that they did so.

Not to be argumentative, but I think you have it perfectly backwards, which is the beauty of this whole thing. The iPod ALREADY IS a fashion statement. Now, the fashion statement is being turned into charitable support.

And that's awesome.

FIVE PERCENT?! That's almost nothing!

Now, I don't think we can fairly argue this without actual knowledge of the numbers Apple makes per iPod. But remember, Microsoft will be out $50 per Zune. I can imagine Apple's profits being pretty slim on the iPod. They don't have to be extravagant when you sell 8 Million per quarter. I work in the Pro Audio business, and sometimes making 5% on a sale is completely normal. It's the nature of high-tech markets right now... extremely competitive.

Lame. I don't want an AIDS nano.

If you want to give money to a cause, go ahead. It doesn't have any thing to do with iPods. Unless it's more important to you to show off how you are supporting something, than actually doing it.

Those who buy it are supporting something, even when they don't mean to support it. Some will buy it because they like red. Others will buy it because they think it's a great way to help and they were going to buy a nano anyway.

The price is the same regardless, but one helps and the other four don't. It's not hurting you so why is it lame?
 
The best idea to come up with a RED nano, that is so genius!!!!!!!
October is related to the color RED. Good Cause so alot of people will be buying this RED nano.

the thing lamer than being lame is calling others lame for doing something good. calling this "AIDS nano" lame is like calling anyone who belives in global warming lame. why do we make fun of people who belive in the truth and try to do good? :confused: there is nothing lamer than someone who thinks smart of nerdy people are lame. "Dr"maybe u are the one who is lame! :mad:

Whatever. Charities tend to blow most of their money on fund raising, and this amounts to much the same thing.

Good charities spend less than 1% on administration costs and fundraising.

The (Product) Red iPod Nano is selling amazingly well. It is #4 of the top sellers on the store. #1 iPod Nano #2 iPod #3 iPod Shuffle #4 Red iPod Nano.
The ship time is 1-2 days now. It was 24 hours up untill today. This certainly means Apple did not anticipate the demand as they would have certainly had enough stock built up, it is not as if there is anything special about this nano.
This is fantastic news for Apple and AIDS aid
