White iPhone 3GS Overheats to the Point of Discoloration?
We don't know how many people have hit this problem (the Apple support forums talk about only overheating here and here, as a sample), but at least one user claims that his white iPhone 3GS has become PINK with heat. More »

Cashmere and Alchemy: The New Heart of Windows Mobile (and Maybe More), Not a Ladies' Soap Store
Mary Jo Foley has a twofer on the new Embedded Compact core of Windows Mobile: Cashmere, if released, would add FlashLite and better gesture support, while Alchemy is a new shell component that would bring "richer UI scenarios" through native access to Silverlight, meaning flicking, panning and zoomzooming.

Stephen King Confuses Everyone with Pink Kindle 2 that Doesn't Exist
Here is the new Kindle 2 in pink, though it's only available in white. Apparently some marketing genius thought that putting a horridly painted, nonexistent Kindle on Stephen King's novella UR was really something clever.

Entrench Gender Norms While Breaking Them With Pink Guitar Hero Controllers
As a chick who's incredibly into both gaming and tech stuff, one of my biggest pet peeves EVER is the pinkification of girl stuff. Want to make me automatically hate something? Make it a shade of dusted coral. So despite these Aly & AJ-designed Rock Band and Guitar Hero-compatible controllers being in somewhat interesting shapes and relatively stylish (if you're 16) patterns... my first reaction is to want to puke all over them. Still, just because I can't stand pink doesn't mean there aren't gamer girls out there who actually do like the whole cutesy-wootsey ultra-femme look—if you know one, you can pick up one of these for $70 at Daisy Rock Girl Guitars. Oh god, just the name of that store makes me nauseous. [Daisy Rock via Popgadget]

Canon's E1 Digital Camera is Shiny, Curvy, in Baby Pink and Blue
Canon's clearly trying to add a certain girly appeal to some of its latest digital cameras, since compared to the gruff, black 50D the upcoming E1 is particularly curvy and comes in vanilla, powder blue and baby pink. It's no optical slouch though, despite its simple looks, with 10-megapixels, 4x optical zoom and optical image stabilization, macro mode, ISO80-1600 (with 3200 scene mode) and a 2.5-inch TFT display. It also takes AA batteries for convenience and weighs just 0.35-pounds. Available in September for around $200. [Canon] -

Creative Zen Getting Bubblegum Pink Makeover
Looks like the Zune isn't the only PMP to be getting a color makeover, Creative's Zen is in on it too. The new model was spotted at Wal Mart, where it is retailing at $69.99 for a 2GB unit, with no other capacities listed. As far as we can tell, the pink Zen is ready for immediate shipping, despite the fact it is not available at Creative's own online store. The new addition has me thinking it is time for a pink gadget in my arsenal; admit it, you want one as well. [Wal Mart via Geek&Hype; Thanks, pickupjojo!]

Mr. T-Mobile Warns Mr. Engadget Mobile Over the Color Magenta
Mr. T says I'm crazy and he may be right. I'm a bird! I'm a plane! I'm a choo-choo train! But Mr.T-Mobile is the only crazy one: they requested Engadget Mobile to stop using their shade of magenta in his logo because it may lead to "confusion in the marketplace." Their shade of magenta? I've known magenta since she was a kid! She was called Cynthia back then. Don't worry Mr. Block, it'll all pass. Just hold your breath, and remember your exercises! [Engadget via Gadget Lab] -

Pink BlackBerry Pearl Aimed at Consumer Market as RIM Feels iPhone Heat
RIM's response to the market-share-gulping iPhone is to try to appeal to the female consumer by splashing pink paint all over the BlackBerry Pearl. Sigh. Why do some manufacturers insist on churning out pink versions of their products for women? Research says women are not particularly into it—unless, of course, she is a crack-addled nutcase who has yet to leave her tweenage Barbie phase behind. [Reuters] -

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 »

Fuchsia Sony Bravia, or Why They Make TVs in Black Part XVI
Part of the Sony Bravia S series, this fuchsia television may have an excellent picture with 4000:1 contrast ratio and great audio from Sony's top of the line integrated virtual surround sound technology, but it's fuchsia—you know—the slutty mom of pink. For those who are still interested, the 20" fuchsia Bravia will set you back $1000 when converted from European currency. So when people make fun of your TV, at least you can be like, "yeah, well it was like $1000 and I'm not gonna make a big deal about it but thought you should know." Note: why do TVs come in black in the first place? So colors pop. [sony via shinyshiny] [photo] -

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

Pink Taser Looks, Stuns Like a Toy
It's unfortunate that this pink seal Taser isn't an actual Taser and only gives people a slight zap. Why's that? Because it would be quite funny to see a mugger be taken down with a cellphone strap that's shaped like a pink seal when trying to steal some lady's bag. On second thought, instead of a pink seal, it may be even funnier to have one shaped like the recording artist Seal. That'd show them. More »

Despite not being a huge fan of standard pink gadgets, this powder pink Zune is turning out to look snazzier than we thought.

That was a super-limited edition only for employees who worked on the Zune and 100 lucky contestants who found them in standard Zune packages. More »

Pink Zune Confirmed for May Release
Hey ladies! This is the moment you have all been waiting for—the folks at cliczune received confirmation that a pink version of the Zune is coming on May 1! If you remember, Microsoft surprised purchasers by leaking 100 limited-edition pink Zunes last year, but now they are being released mainstream. I guess the fact that the pink Zunes fetched a pretty penny on eBay inspired Microsoft to release the pink Zune not as a super-sneaky surprise. More » -

Samsung T9 Dropped in Pink Paint for Valentine's
Hold onto your hats, Korea, because Samsung plans to release a pink T9 there on February 9 for around $228, just in time for Valentine's Day. (Does Korea even celebrate the holiday?) You might remember that Samsung released a pinkified Z5 a few months back. All of the T9's stats remain the same: Bluetooth support, 2GB of flash, etc. Samsung's also including a bottle (though it kinda looks like an Easter Egg) of Ryoko perfume to sweeten the deal, and make your gal pal even happier. She's so lucky to have you. More » -

Motorola L2 Cellphone Goes Pink All Up In Cingular's Grill
Pink is the new black (which, in turn, is the old pink), so it's no surprise that Motorola's focus groups have pegged that delightful blend of red and white as the color du jour for the Motorola L2. Yup, that little almost-business cellphone is the latest gadget to get the pink makeover on Cingular, since girls are attracted to anything pink, be it skirts, oven mitts or average cellphones. For whatever reason, there's no camera in this pinkified cellphone (which might not be a bad thing after all), but it does support quad-band GSM, meaning that you or your girl can look like a fashion slave on more continents than is necessary. C'est magnifique! More »
