Apple Inc. never ceases to amaze me. I’ve been a very fanatical customer of theirs since I owned an Apple //e in the early 1980′s. I was the proud owner of a Mac SE/30 in the early 1990′s, and a Powerbook in the late 1990′s.

I remember when everyone left them for dead, and then they came out with this new thing called an “iPod”, which changed everything.

This is a very cool thing they’re doing with a very cool product. For the same price as their regular iPod Nanos and iPod Shuffles, you can get this red version (which IMO is by far the best color of all of them). And all the proceeds of sales of these versions of the iPod go to The Global Fund to fight AIDS in Africa!

It’s not clear how long Apple will continue this, and it will almost certainly be a hot seller for the upcoming holiday season, so grab yours while you can!

The Apple iPod nano (PRODUCT) RED Special Edition goes for $199. If that’s too pricey, you can also go for the über cool Apple iPod shuffle (PRODUCT) RED Special Edition, 2GB at $69.
