Pink special edition iPod

Pink special edition iPod Shuffle at Target

With proceeds benefitting The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, Target has begun offering a special edition pink iPod Shuffle that comes bundled with a free $15 iTunes gift card while retaining the standard $80 pricing. Target is donating a portion of the proceeds of each sale to the charitable foundation, up to a maximum of $25,0000. The stores began offering the special edition nanos about two weeks ago. The iPods included in the package appear to be second generation, as the newly introduced third-generation iPod shuffle (which is feature-identical to the second generation) is not offered in pink. Target is also selling the pink Shuffle by itself, without the $15 gift card, for $70.

New NBC shows on iTunes

NBC shows turn up on iTunes despite dispute

Apple has added two TV shows from NBC to its iTunes Store despite a recent fallout between the television network and the Cupertino-based company. Reports surfaced late last month that NBC would no longer offer its TV shows via iTunes as a result of differing views over Apple's resistance to altering pricing. While the contract between Apple and NBC runs through the month of December and videos will not disappear until after the deal expires, the removal of Apple's largest television content provider could deal a hefty blow to its iPod/iTunes business.
