If you ask me this color says "poly-cotton blend knit," not, I don't know, "raw silk."<br /><br />You know what? I'm sticking to my guns. Brown is the new pink <em>and </em>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.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2006/11/15/pink-is-the-new-zune-and-orange/">Pink is the new Zune (and orange?)</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Wed, 15 Nov 2006 11:29:00 EST.
