iPod nano (PRODUCT) RED in stores now
The just-announced special edition iPod nano (PRODUCT) RED is available now in Apple retail stores across the U.S. Apple’s latest nano is nearly identical to other models, save for the red aluminum enclosure and small “(PRODUCT) RED” engraving on the back. The packaging is also very similar to other nanos, but now comes with a (PRODUCT) RED information card. You can find photos in our updated review of the second-generation iPod nano here.

I’d like it if they made a black 8GB and offered a (RED) deal for it. Or a (RED) fullsize that wasn’t actually red in color.

When you say “we are still buying Zune” by “we” you mean “no one”, right? This is nice, but I’m a bit baffled as to why they can have 5 different colors for the 4GB Nano but only 1 for the 8GB.

Whatever…I went and bought one of these this afternoon and it’s great. I now own 3 iPods and I certainly wouldn’t even consider a Zune…

It’s not an 8GB for a very good reason- price. 8GB iPod nano is $249, the same price as a 30GB iPod. I think a lot of people will go for a full-size iPod for the same rpice, even if part of it will go to a great cause. A majority of people will still do what’s best for them over what’s best for someone else.

I’m almost positive that 4GB is the most popular nano size becuase of the colors and the whole thing with pricing of the 8GB and the 30GB video.

Ok Apple, this is nice and all, but how about getting these 2G Shuffles onto shelves and into the mail?

I just bought a Black 8GB just because it had the most storage. I wish there were other colors.

I only bought the 8gb because of the capacity. Would have liked a choice in colors but I figured I might as well get double the capacity than the 1st gen I had for the same price. Besides, I used my product replacement plan and didn’t have to pay a dime. I think it would be smart to offer the product red one in more than just the 4gb…even in the full sizes. This would allow people that are interested in buying one for the cause but wanted something other than the 4gb nano.
