Red iPod nano out Today? Yes, says The Chicago Tribune--It's True!
The Chicago Tribune reported that Apple will introduce a special edition red iPod nano today via Bono on the Oprah Winfrey Show. Below is the Tribune's photo apparently taken during taping of the Oprah Winfrey Show in an Apple Store, showing the red iPod nanos with Bono and Oprah. Apple announced it this morning in this press release.
The red iPod nano is a part of the (PRODUCT)RED initiative helping the fight against AIDS. The (PRODUCT)RED Web site has an event time line for 2006 with the October 13 entry stating "(RED) appears on Oprah Winfrey for US launch." It is the only entry that does not mention a company name or product in keeping with Apple's tight-lipped policy on new product announcements.
The capacity of the red iPod nano is 4GB, its battery life is uo to 24hr and it is selling for $199, like the other colored iPod nanos but with $10 going to (PRODUCT)RED. [Bill Fox]
