Designer Emil Kozak has knocked together some graphic Dell skins which will help out the (Product) Red charity. There’s four different designs with 23 colour variations to choose from, and conveniently help disguise the fact that you own a Dell. More »
French site Nowhereelse has their hands on some photos that look suspiciously like a (RED) version of the 16GB iPhone 3G. However, it’s lacking the telltale (RED) badge, making this pic dubious at best.

With an XPS M1530 tucked beneath his arm, our handsome protagonist goes roaming around the streets of a European metropolis, Mick Jagger’s “Charmed Life” pumping on the soundtrack. The city’s denizens hail his approach with cheers, butt slaps, and at least one passionate kiss, treatment usually reserved for sporting heroes rather than users of mid-range computing hardware. What has this shaggy-haired Everyman done to deserve such adulation? Well, that Dell of his is part of the special-edtion (RED) lineup, so US$50 of his purchase price went to The Global Fund. A noble endeavor, to be sure, but (and excuse the ensuing crassness) will this good-hearted approach really help Dell move product? Read on for an answer, as well as a special “Making of…” clip.

If I’ve learned two things in life, it’s that it’s noble to jump on some bandwagons, and some things just look sexy in red. That’s why I was pretty happy to see that Microsoft and Dell were joining the (Product) Red charity for global AIDS relief, and that for every one of the sweet new red XPS One’s that are sold, US$80 of the purchase will go directly toward buying 6 months of antiretroviral medication. If you buy a (Product) Red XPS M1530 or M1330, the donation is US$50, and if you buy the red 948 all-in-one printer, somebody gets 10 days’ worth of medication. Some of you are sceptical about this program—tell me, don’t you think these numbers prove that (Product) Red is working? Jump for details and more Red-ified product pics. AU: Will look into whether these will be available in Oz and update as soon as I hear back
