Friday, November 3rdApple adds iPod nano 8GB (Product) RED
Apple has quietly added an 8GB model of its iPod nano (Product) RED to its online and retail stores. As with the earlier 4GB edition, the 8GB nano is functionally identical to its regular equivalent and adds only a red aluminum shell as well as the (Product) RED logo on the reverse side. Pricing remains the same as for the $249 black model, though Apple hasn't yet indicated whether it will donate more than its previous $10 per sale to the Global Fund against AIDS in Africa. The new model ships in 1-2 business days from the online Apple Store.

And what's with the (Product) RED name? Could anyone think of a more awkward name? I'm sure it means something relating to the anti-AIDS campaign, but really...
Personally I find it odd that the official version shows the "RED[tm]" as a superscript/exponent (as in "product to the red power"), but that doesn't get carried over consistently to the subsequent branding. For example, on Apple's site it's "iPod nano (PRODUCT) RED Special Edition" which looks like a kid was playing with the cap lock key.
