Just as we announced yesterday, Apple introduced today their red iPod Nano which will contribute 10$ directly to the Global Fund to fight AIDS in Africa for each iPod Nano (PRODUCT) RED sold.

By doing this, Apple joins various other companies like Motorola, and Emporio Armani, which have also released (RED) products. If you want to read more about the (RED) initiative, check out their website at joinred.com. Here is the description of the product from Apple’s website:

You make choices every day, from the clothes you wear to the music you play. Now making a choice means making a difference. The iPod nano (PRODUCT) RED holds up to 1,000 songs, 25,000 photos(1), and a little hope. That’s because $10 from every iPod nano (PRODUCT) RED sold goes directly to the Global Fund to fight AIDS in Africa. Which means your iPod nano (PRODUCT) RED sounds good and does good at the same time.

So if you were thinking about getting one of the 4Gb second generation iPod Nanos, now you have an even bigger reason to do so. And on a more personal note, out of the (now) 5 available colors, I find this new one to be the most “attractive” of the bunch, and I think it suits both women, and men, equally well.

If it also helps humanity a bit I think that it’s a win-win situation for everyone. You get a great product, and Africa gets the aid it needs.

So if you’re going to choose a Nano, choose RED.
