Apple today announced that it is adding a new pink iPod nano to the lineup of the world’s most popular music player. The much-requested pink iPod nano is available immediately in an 8GB model for $199. iPod nano features a two-inch display which lets users watch the brand new iTunes Movie Rentals, or TV shows and music videos purchased from the iTunes Store. iPod nano delivers up to 24 hours of audio playback or five hours of video playback on a single charge and is encased in a beautiful all-metal design made with anodized aluminum and polished stainless steel, which is also available in silver, black, blue, green and a (PRODUCT) RED special edition.
“Customers are going to love the gorgeous new pink iPod nano,” said Greg Joswiak, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide iPod Product Marketing, in the press release. “The pink iPod nano is perfect for people who want a great new color this spring, or who are searching for a special Valentine’s Day gift.”
iPod nano features an enhanced user interface that shows off album artwork and photos like never before and includes Cover Flow, so you can scroll through your entire music collection by album cover artwork using the Click Wheel. Customers can also buy music, video and games for their iPod nano from the iTunes Store or check out the latest iTunes Movie Rentals.
The new pink 8GB iPod nano is available worldwide immediately for a suggested retail price of US$199 and joins the other 8GB models available in silver, black, blue, green and a (PRODUCT) RED special edition. The 4GB iPod nano in silver is available for a suggested retail price of $149. Both the 4GB and 8GB iPod nano for Mac or Windows are available through the Apple Store, Apple’s retail stores and Apple Authorized Resellers. All iPod nano models include earbud headphones, a USB to 30-pin cable and a Universal Dock Connector.

MacDailyNews Note: Apple introduced their first pink iPod on January 6, 2004 with the debut of the iPod mini.
ok, i just came here from the onion…. and i am still not sure if you are serious.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Obviously, Apple should have instead added a color that Microsoft has proven people want: brown!
MW: “make”, as in “Make mine brown!”
pink and brown actually look nice together.
I had noticed the store went down. And I got all excited. A week after the keynote. Time for the “back filler” updates to start trickling New Mac Book Pro update, maybe multi touch gestures for laptops, blu-ray, Apple Cinema Displays…all the stuff the SJ would have had to announce to please every fan boy and girl but didn’t.
And then we get this. It is nice looking and in typical Jobs/Apple fashion the timing is great for V-day.
Come on now fanboys, don’t think that one of these will satisfy her on V-day just b/c it’s pink and costs $200.

If that don’t bring the stock price up, nuthin’ will.
@ groves
Not *that* pink, however.
“I had noticed the store went down. And I got all excited.”
Steady on, man.
“all the stuff the SJ would have had to announce to please every fan boy and girl but didn’t.”
After reading Mac sites for year, I’m convinced that nothing SJ ever says will make all the fantards happy. He could announce 1$ laptops with a foldable 24 inch screen, that allowed someone to see the future and someone on here would pitch a hissy fit about some feature it lacked.
The Pink one is also snappier
@ Macromancer
1 Dollar?!?!?! I can get an Asus for half that.
Anxiously awaiting ZuneTang comment about how Apple copies Microsoft.
Yikes! Does it have Brokeback Mountain preloaded?
In addition to pink, Apple should make the blue one a darker shade. And a “golden” one would be nice too. But I suppose if Apple had too many color choices at once, it would look like Creative.
Hey i have a gold iPod mini. one of the few i think
@ hagar57
Brokeback is so three years ago. The gays have moved on to this.
Pink – watered down blood on the stock market floor.
At least Apple releases Pink for a reason. MS just releases colors out of desperation, since innovation is something the can’t do in real time. They usually wait till calendar year is over, then they just copy Apple. LOL
It’s running a stripped down version of Mac OS X 10.3.
(Wait for it . . . )
The next Zune will be tube shaped and a lighter brown with little fake peanuts embedded for texture. Ballmer got the idea while concentrating real hard one day.
Why did Microsoft choose red for their Valentine’s Day edition of the Zune player? To remind everybody to get AIDS while at it or to confuse consumers who would like to support (Product) Red™
@Ampar – can you customize it to get it encrusted with corn chunks too?
To joewannamac:
Sure. And Ballmer will make them by hand. Any kind of organic bling is available. Red splotches are his favorite. He spends most of the day “innovating” new textures. The Board is just happy he’s not stalking small prey in the parking lot, howling at cars and throwing blind kids down abandoned wells. It was freaking out the employees. Local law enforcement had to buy a dozen torches and pitchforks as a precaution.
Did you hear that crazy clicking noise?
That was the sound of 14,237,838 fourteen year old girls and Lance Bass charging $199 to a credit card.
Pink? Been there, done that with the pink Zune. Cupertino, it looks like the copiers are running at full speed today.
Thing is, I won’t be getting this for anyone on Valentine’s Day, I’m having too much fun with Zune and Windows Vista to be in a relationship right now.
Your potential. Our passion.™
