(PRODUCT) RED is a special initiative to raise money for the Global Fund to help fight HIV/AIDS in Africa. Apple is already participating in the program with a special red version of its iPod nano; initially, the company sold a $199 4GB version. Now a $249 8GB version joins the line. Apple will contribute $10 to from the sale of each (PRODUCT) RED edition iPod nano to the Global Fund.

Under the hood, the (PRODUCT) RED nano is exactly the same as Apple’s other iPod nano models. Apple estimates that the 8GB (PRODUCT) RED nano can store about 2,000 songs — twice the effective capacity of its 4GB sibling. It features the same dimensions, so it can use the same accessories from Apple and third parties designed for second-generation iPod nano players.

The 8GB iPod nano (PRODUCT) RED features redesigned earbud headphones, a dock connector and a USB 2.0 cable to connect to a Mac or PC.
