Noticed any peculiar red iPod nano’s floating around your area? No? Well that’s too bad because it’s probably a sign that you are spending too much time reading PocketSynch or watching movies on your PMP! You missed all the television commercials about Apple’s new nano craze or lack thereof. Though those folks sporting their shiny new red nano may seem to be attention hungry fashion slaves looking to be different, the truth couldn’t any more benign. Fact is the red nanos are the identifiying characteristic of the iPod (PRODUCT) RED series.

Available exclusively through Apple via their online or retail stores, whenever you purchase the iPod nano (PRODUCT) RED series unit you help fund the purchase and distribution of anti-AIDS medications in Africa. The red nanos come in both the 4GB and 8GB storage versions and don’t cost one red cent (giggles) more than it’s other multi colored counterparts. So your decision to allow part of your purchase to go towards purchasing AIDS medicine for Africa at no additional cost to you comes down to your willingness to buy a red one.

Now the fact that they don’t cost anymore than any other nano of equal storage size is a good thing but it has no doubt by now raised the question in your mind of whether they are any better the other nanos. As in are there any special features? Well the answer is no. The red nanos are no different than the regular nanos but then that’s pretty much what you’d expect when you’re paying the same price for an item that will donate part of it’s proceeds to a charity. $10 USD to be exact.

As touted by Apple this isn’t just a charity it’s a movement. The iPod nano isn’t the only “RED” product you can purchase that will generate revenue for this cause.
