Tongues are wagging from Ireland and back about the new red iPods that just might be surfacing any day now. Certain eavesdroppers report that main U2 dude Bono was gabbing about a new red iPod in a Dublin restaurant, while others began putting two and two together when they heard about Bono unveiling a red American Express card as a part of a worldwide promotion called Product Red. The new product line is aimed at fighting HIV, where 40% of the profits go toward finding a cure for that dread disease. An announcement may be forthcoming in the next few days.

A few other possibilites: The red iPod is the follow up to the other U2 iPod The red iPod gets tied in with the ALDO anti AIDS campaign. The red AmEx card gets tied in with the iPod, the ALDO thing, or something else The whole thing is a hoax The whole thing is real Chuck norris is going to cure AIDS next saturday anyway, so who cares!
Would I consider buying a red iPod to help the fight against HIV/AIDS? Probably. Would I consider buying a red iPod that was in any way linked to U2? Not a snowball's in hell. Gander PS - remember how well the *first* U2 iPod went over? How they were trying to clear inventory for forEVER even after said iPod was woefully out of date? That was awesome. I sincerely doubt that Apple would put out a U2 branded iPod again. Now that Pink Madonna Nano that was rumored . . . that would have been sweet. I'd buy one in a second.
Not even considering the truth to the whole red ipod thing (I don't own an ipod nr do I ever plan to, I will stick to other brands...let the bashing begin) but that is the worst photoshopping I have EVER seen. Just look at the thing...that picture is horrible...it looks like someone finally learned how to use a color overlay, but didn't learn how to do it well! Ugh...
i like the idea of helping fight hiv. Good job Apple!
Yeah, that's a fake. Just look at the ear buds compared to the product faces. Who would stick those bloody anime inspired ear tentacles in anyway? YIkes! "Dude, your ears are bleeding." "Dude, I'm listening to Bono really loud!" "Dude, that explains sooo much."
