 Apple announced a new 8GB model of the iPod nano RED Special Edition. The new
8GB iPod nano RED Special Edition holds up to 2,000 songs and
is available for $249, joining the 4GB model priced at $199.
Both
models come in a beautiful red aluminum enclosure and feature 24 hours
of battery life, Apple’s innovative Click Wheel and an incredibly thin
and light design. Apple will contribute $10 from the sale of each iPod
nano (PRODUCT) RED to the Global Fund to help fight HIV/AIDS in Africa.
“Customer response to the iPod nano (PRODUCT) RED Special Edition
has been off the charts,” said Greg Joswiak, Apple’s vice president of
Worldwide iPod Product Marketing. “We’re thrilled to add a second model
with 8GB of capacity, enough for 2,000 songs, so customers have yet
another choice in supporting this important cause.”
(RED) was created by U2 lead singer Bono and Bobby Shriver to engage
business in the fight against AIDS in Africa by getting the world’s
most iconic companies to make uniquely branded products. The Global
Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria was established in 2002,
with the support of the world’s leaders and UN Secretary General Kofi
Annan, to dramatically increase resources to fight three of the world’s
most devastating diseases, and to direct those resources to areas of
greatest need by supporting locally-driven strategies. To date, the
Global Fund has committed $5.2 billion (US) to more than 363 programs
in 131 countries. For more information about (RED) please visit www.joinred.com.
