Ahhh - Valentines Day, hearts and roses, hugs, kisses, sweet candies and (drumroll please) the rollout of the pink iPod nano.
Lasting much longer than a dozen roses and costing relatively close to the same price the pink iPod nano 3G is available online now for $199.
“Customers are going to love the gorgeous new pink iPod nano,” said Greg Joswiak, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide iPod Product Marketing. “The pink iPod nano is perfect for people who want a great new color this spring, or who are searching for a special Valentine’s Day gift.”
The luscious pink nano joins the other 8GB models already available in silver, black, blue, green and the “RED” special edition.

Apple has been known for its genius moves in the past but it would seem that somehow they improved the Nano immensely, adding video with incredible picture clarity, while at the same time lowering the cost of production.The word comes from iSuppli who did a teardown of the new 3G Nano and discovered that the component costs of the 4GB 3G Nano is 18.5 percent cheaper than the old model.
The new 4GB Nano costs $58.85 to make while the old Nano costs $72.85, both sell for the same price of $149. The 8GB Nano costs about $82.85 to make and sells for $199. Selling for approximately 67 percent more than the production costs.
“For the new nanos, Apple has exceeded even its usual lofty standards,” iSuppli said.
Overall the study found that Apple typically charges around double the manufacturing cost of its products, but that the new line retails at around three times the build cost, giving Apple their heftiest profit yet.
