Red iPod Nano

Well, it 's about time.....

Apple should have been offering a greater variety of colours for their iPods in the first place.

However, this red theme has come about mainly because of "Bono", the outspoken Irish rock star and lead singer for U2.

It's all part of Bono's latest campaign for fighting AIDS in Africa. He appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show overnight telling viewers to buy "RED-branded" goods. Should be an interesting show which hopefully will be available for viewing by Malaysian residents before the year 2010, if we're lucky.

Apparently, a percentage of the profits for this program goes mainly towards buying drugs for people suffering from AIDS in Africa.

American viewers were urged to buy "Gap" T-shirts, denim jeans & jackets with the "RED" trademark, red "Motorola" mobile phones, red limited edition "Converse" shoes, red "Giorgio Armani" clothing & accessories as well as the red "Apple" iPod nano.

Respect to Bono for trying to make a difference in the world. But he does have his fair share of critics who think he is too preachy and lectures people too much. Maybe he can raise money from this segment of the community by selling them the following.....

It should come in "RED" of course.....

Right, I'll get my coat.....
