“Amid rumors that Apple will introduce a Special Edition red-colored iPod nano on Friday as part of Bono’s ‘Product Red’ campaign to fight AIDS, the white illuminated Apple logo hanging inside the glass cube over Apple’s Fifth Avenue retail store is now glowing red. iProng staff is currently in New York City to cover Digital Life and took the following photos of the new-red logo Thursday evening, from inside and outside the store,” Bill Palmer reports for iProng.
See the photos at iProng here.

Do these guys ever stop innovating? I freakin’ love it!
Red in the morning, sailors’ warning, red at night, sailors’ delight!
well, apple’s are red. perhaps they woke up and realized that there’s no such thing as a white, glowing apple.
Andrew, why is coming out with anything in a different color – innovating? Last I checked, red was “innovated” just a bit before Apple came on the scene. Quite a bit. Will a yellow iPod be there next “innovation?”
Red. Yellow. Blue. Green. Has Apple already applied for trademarks for those new innovations?
…or patents?
Some group will find this offensive and it won’t last long. Maybe the Department Store Santa Union.
Not innovative, but a cool piece of synergy with their newest promotion.
Deeply cool, and a colour that’s missing from the present lineup — just so long as I don’t have to buy one with a signature on it.

Kind of ominous looking. I like it.
That’s Eve’s apple. I’m doomed.
The label for the final released Beatles album, Let It Be, featured a red (rather than green) apple.
So Apple Corps is probably beginning lawsuit procedings as we speak.
Why isn’t Bono wearing red?
Monty – He’s not wearing red because he’s wearing edun – he and his wife’s socially conscious clothing company.

You’re an ignorant ass.
The innovation here is to turn products into something people will want to buy and indirectly give to charity.
Twit….get a life. Better still buy a red iPod.
It’s all tied to the movie “Reds” fianlly coming out on DVD.
Kim Jong-il will love it. Goes with his nukes.
ron: And N. Korea is safe from invasion. Because they actually DO have WMDs. I’m sure the self-titled “dear leader” is looking into podcasting. But with a totally different kind of pod and casting.
