Apple has become the latest company to back Bono's Product Red campaign to fight Aids in Africa. The Californian company has produced a special-edition Red iPod nano and will donate $10 (£5.50) for each one sold to charity.

The special 4GB iPod, which can store 1,000 songs, is available for £129, the same price as conventional versions. Bono, lead singer of U2, said: "We're ecstatic that Apple is giving their customers the choice to buy a Red iPod nano and help women and children affected by HIV/Aids in Africa."
