Apple has added a page to the iTunes Store, which allows people to donate to the American Red Cross to help those affected by the January 12 earthquake in Haiti.
On the page you can click to donate $ 5, $ 10, $ 25, $ 50, $ 100 or $ 200. Apple notes that 100 percent of donations go to the Red Cross, and "will support emergency relief efforts to help those affected by this earthquake." Donations can go to the emergency, mobilizing relief workers, or providing financial resources.
Apple also says that iTunes will not share your personal information with the Red Cross, so you only get a standard e-mail receipt from iTunes.
Many companies have recently promised to donate profits from their apps to the relief efforts as well.
Note that you can not use iTunes Store credit from donations, I have made a donation this morning and my balance did not change.
