Apple Pushes Pink iPod nano in Time for Your Valentine

It seems like an obvious move: Apple's little pink 8GB iPod nano ($199) comes out in time for Valentine's Day, and perhaps before most pink second-gen nanos have kicked the bucket. But there's a problem: if you're trying to impress your lady friend by buying her a nano that contributes money to some worthy cause, you're going to have to stick with the (PRODUCT) RED one, which fights against AIDS and tuberculosis in Africa and around the world. As pink as this nano is, there's no mention of an accompanying breast-cancer charity benefit, in an industry where pink gadgets usually mean precisely that. Let's get it going, Apple! [Apple] More »

Like Breasts? Get a 250GB Pink WD Passport Drive to Celebrate

In addition to being one of our favorite holidays, today is the last day of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Besides squeezing a ripe pair of tittles, what better way to celebrate than picking up a pink Western Digital Passport drive with 250GB of storage on board? We've been testing one of these USB drives, and its performance is respectable, quietly cranking out a read speed of 17MB per second and write speed of 14MB per second. Plus, its minimalist design appeals to us, sporting an icy blue pilot light that sets off its odd, angular shape. Pink-thinking Western Digital's not saying what percentage of the drive's $200 price goes toward fighting breast cancer, but it's the thought that counts. [Western Digital]

Buy a Zune, Fight Breast Cancer

Since we're such breast fans here at the Giz, we wouldn't think of letting Breast Cancer Awareness Month pass by without a mention. The best news is you can celebrate boobies, get yourself a 30GB limited edition pink Zune, and fight breast cancer at the same time. Unlike some other charitable music-player-selling schemes that only donate a measly 5% of their proceeds to charity, when you buy a 30GB Zune from Warriors in Pink, 100% of the purchase price goes to Susan G. Koman For the Cure, thanks to the generosity of Ford and Microsoft. Breast cancer is no laughing matter, and we figure anything we can do to promote and preserve breasts and the lovely women on which they reside is time well spent. The pink 30GB Zune is $250 ($50 more than retail for a 30GB Zune), but it's for a worthy cause. [Warriors in Pink]

Casio Exilim Coming out in Pink - Again. This Time for Breast Cancer

Pink is a four-letter word—as is cancer. This October, Casio is bringing out a rose-tinted version of its Exilim EX-Z75 in order to raise awareness for the National Breast Cancer Foundation. How nice, I thought, a big corp doing something for lady-bumps. And then I remembered that the EX-Z75 was already out in a blush-colored hue. More »

Belkin's iPod Cases Support Fight Against Breast Cancer

If you or your lady were going to buy an iPod Nano armband or an iPod Nano case anyway, why not buy a pink one and support breast cancer research at the same time? These aren't pink because Belkin's trying to appeal to ladies (though that could be a side benefit), they're pink because of the breast cancer connection. Please, protect your iPod and the boobies. Especially the boobies. Steve Jobs doesn't come out on stage and whip a new one of those out of his pocket every year. – Jason Chen More »
