A 'female' TV can be for men too

Even in our perpetually clueless state we're somewhat familiar with the concept of gender-specific marketing, but we're not sure why this falls under either category.
For one thing, the photos of this 10-inch-screen Samsung portable TV depict representatives of both sexes gleefully viewing said product, which reportedly can be hooked up to an external hard drive. And the casing is a gender-neutral white--not even pink!--so it's unclear which features make this "exclusively reserved for female customers," as Akihabara News puts it.
The only clue that might tip it in that direction is a picture of a woman holding the DMB TV like a handbag in one hand while precariously balancing what appears to be a demitasse in the other. It might not be pretty, but even we can do that.
