Apparently it will be the 4GB variety, and unveiled tomorrow by Bono on the Oprah Show... From the news I've seen... 5% of the retail price wil be donated to Charity for Women & Children with Aids.

Great job Bono and Apple!

I believe Bono will be on Oprah today to talk about it.

I'm glad it's not another special edition band ipod. It actually goes to a good cause and if we buy Product (Red) we are contributing to that cause just by sacrificing color for a product we would buy anyways. Kudos to Bono and Product Red. Never been a big U2 fan but definately a Bono fan now. Just wish a lot more of the proceeds went to the cause but I guess can't complain.

Reminds me of Yoplait and the pink wrapper campaign for Breast Cancer although yogurt has an argument for more of a need than needing an ipod.

But kudos again, I realy like this campaign!

LOL

I also think it is a great idea to do a launch on the Oprah show... for this iPod, and future items... It will put sales through the roof. I garauntee that when I get home from the office today my wife will be talking to me about the new RED nano on Oprah, so will her friends, and their friends, and on, and on. And how does Oprah turn Authors into multi-millionaires? Beacuase if Oprah says "buy it" people BUY IT!

I know Apple stock (AAPL) is already on an UP spike over the past couple months, and while traditional wisdom says not to... I personally think today is still a great day to buy AAPL

Agreed :black:

And quite frankly with Stephen A. Smith, they shouldn't even send the ipod with headphones. Why Apple continuously ships a great product with poo headgear is beyond me.

If she does, they'll probably still have to pay the taxes. :spook:

On a gift? It's not like a car or a game show. But I assume you are probably right. Tax rules are so stupid and I know closeup and personal as one of my family members works in the "People you hate" field.

I would go ahead and pay the $14 bucks or whatever though. Low price to pay for a $200 product. If they don't want they can just resell and make profit.

Ironic... Given the fact that Target has joined Wal-Mart in being "concerned" about iTunes Movies cutting into Targets DVD sales..

I'm definitely digging the new red iPod nano, but kicking myself for buying a 4GB white one back in August. Oh well. What does everyone think? I know it's to raise money for African AIDS relief--but it looks like a big Target ad. LOL It's not just any red...it's bright red. Thoughts?
