Product (Red) iPod Sales Soaring

Looks like I was right in my prediction that the red ipod nano, backed by Oprah and Bono would be a huge hit. It’s the fastest selling item at Apple Stores, and it sounds like they are having to order more than initially thought. There are also rumors that Apple is considering making a Product (Red) MacBook. I think that would look pretty good, but I think it would not fly of the shelves as quick. Not only is it a higher priced item, but it’s not being released at the right time for kids to get in on it for the cool factor. They’re good on their laptop for the year, and it’s not a typical Christmas present. You may get some in the housewife department, but I would imagine most of them are set with either a laptop or a PC at home, and don’t need to sport the red MacBook just to show off.

I hope it happens, as they’d look great, but I strongly doubt the sales would be that monumental.
