No, Microsoft, pink does not make the Zune cool

Engadget is reporting that pink and orange Zunes were handed out to some of the folks who helped out with the (tepid) launch. But the tech blog is speculating that these may see wider release in the not-so-distant future.

I'm not going to write anymore on this subject, except to say that I think Mike Yamamoto wants one to go with his pink Razr (there you go, Mike, for making fun of my appreciation of penguins this morning). "Pink Zune" jokes kind of write themselves.

Title is Misleading

I don't like the title of your posting. It's misleading as if CNet has some sort of bias against the Zune product line. I'm looking for more unbiased and reporting. Thanks.

it may be hosted by cnet, but that doesn't make it "Fair and unbiased".
