Apple Rolls Out 8 GB (RED) iPod nano

Apple Computer today announced an 8 GB version of its (PRODUCT) RED iPod nano, available now from Apple’s online store and from Apple’s retail stores this weekend for $249. The 8 GB version joins the $199 4 GB version unveiled earlier this month; $10 from the purchase price of either iPod nano goes to the Global Fund to combat HIV/AIDS in Africa.

"Customer response to the iPod nano (PRODUCT) RED Special Edition has been off the charts," said Greg Joswiak, Apple’s CP of Worldwide iPod Product Marketing. "We’re thrilled to add a second model with 8GB of capacity, enough for 2,000 songs, so customers have yet another choice in supporting this important cause."

(PRODUCT) RED was created by U2 frontman Bono and Bobby Shriver as a way for businesses to actively contribute to the battle against HIV/AIDS in Africa by creating uniquely branded products. Several companies have produced (RED) products, including Motorola, Converse, American Express, The Gap, and (of course) Apple Computer.

Hyundai is on a roll. In October, the South Korean manufacturer posted its best U.S. sales ever, largely driven by sales of its popular Ioniq 5 electric SUV.

Now, all eyes are on the Ioniq 5’s 2025 model, which is set to become available at dealerships before year-end. As Digital Trends previously reported, the crossover model adds a more rugged-looking trim level called XRT and provides additional driving range as well as new charging options.

Range Rover, the brand made famous for its British-styled, luxury, all-terrain SUVs, is keen to show it means business about going electric.

And, according to the most recent investor presentation by parent company JLR, that’s all because Range Rover fans are showing the way. Not only was demand for Range Rover’s hybrid vehicles up 29% in the last six months, but customers are buying hybrids “as a stepping stone towards battery electric vehicles,” the company says.
