Pink is the new Zune (and orange?)

pink zune?Just when I was getting ready to write a post proclaiming that, thanks to Microsoft's über-geeky-cool "suede"-colored Zune music player, brown is the new pink (a.k.a. is the new white, is the new silver, is the new black), it turns out that pink is the new pink.

Engadget has news that Microsoft has given pink and orange Zunes as gifts (to retailers perhaps?), although the particular shade seems to defy the understated, Northwest-comfort connotations of the other colors (white = "cotton", black = "flannel") with which Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) has staked its claim. If you ask me this color says "poly-cotton blend knit," not, I don't know, "raw silk."

You know what? I'm sticking to my guns. Brown is the new pink and the new black. I'm predicting that retailers will be delivering a smattering of earth tones in their electronics product mix for 2007. Brown is beautiful, and the brown Zune is why I'm in love with Microsoft these days.
