On Friday, Rockstar Bono and celebrity Oprah Winfrey are expected to launch the long-rumored red-colored iPod as part of the Product Red AIDS charity initiative. Project Red, founded by Bono and Bobby Shriver, Chairman of DATA, is designed to raise awareness and money for The Global Fund by teaming up with the world’s most iconic brands to produce (PRODUCT) RED branded products.

AppleInsider reports that Friday’s edition of the “The Oprah Winfrey Show” will publicly unveil the iPod nano Red, a special edition of Apple’s popular flash player. It will be available in a single 4GB model for $199–the same price as the other 4GB models–and will be sold by Apple alongside its other iPod models. Like all participating merchants, Apple will reportedly donate a portion of its sales–about $10, according to the report–from each sale directly to The Global Fund, which helps women and children affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa.

Choose the iPod nano (PRODUCT) RED Special Edition and Apple will give $10 of its purchase price to the Global Fund to fight AIDS in Africa.
Volume, meet virtue

That’s because $10 from every iPod nano (PRODUCT) RED sold goes directly to the Global Fund to fight AIDS in Africa.
