Apple adds pink iPod nano

Apple has updated the Apple Store with a new color of the iPod nano. The 8GB player is now shipping in pink, making for a total of six available colors, including black, green, cyan, silver and red. In keeping with its siblings, the pink Nano costs $199; the 4GB player continues to only be available in silver for $149. The release of the pink Nano follows brief downtime for the US Apple Store, even though it appears that just the one item was added. The inclusion of the Nano in a new gift graphic may, however, suggest that Apple has timed the new color's introduction to coincide with sales for Valentine's Day.

they updated the MBs two months ago. What do you want them to do to them this time?

And I think we all agree that the pink iPod was to try to stay ahead of the color curve from the Zune.

well after the initial success of the "testudo brown" zune, apple had to step it a notch.

zink, I think he's looking for one that actually matches the iMac, not "well, they're both monochromatic).

And, danviento, explain to her that Valentine's Day is a made-up holiday used by the card, candy, jewelery and flower companies, not to mention the restaurant and hotel associations, to convince people that they need to spend $$$ on those special someones to 'prove' that you love them.

If that doesn't work, then explain how all of that just commercializes the holiday, and minimizes the true meaning of Valentines Day, and you refuse to succumb to such obvious consumerism when a simple "I love you" is all that she really wants to hear.

That'll work! Trust me!
