Apple Computer is adding an 8GB iPod model to the (Product) Red fund-raising lineup, the company said Friday.
"Customer response to the iPod Nano (Product) Red Special Edition has been off the charts," Greg Joswiak, Apple's vice president of Worldwide iPod Product Marketing, said in a statement.
The 8GB iPod Nano (Product) Red Special Edition will sell for $249--the same price as the regular version. It is available immediately online and will be in Apple retail stores by the weekend, according to Apple. Identical in body style to the 4GB version, the 8GB iPod Nano can hold about 2,000 songs.
For each (Product) Red edition of the 4GB or 8GB iPod Nano purchased via the Apple online and retail stores, Apple will donate $10 to the AIDS fund.
