					<description>"I kind of resent the idea manufacturers seem to have that making something pink is the best way to market their products to women."

Me too. Sort of. I read recently about a woman who sold personal protection devices--Tazers, basically--to woman at in-home shopping parties, like Tupperware. She said her clients overwhelmingly bought the pink model.

I think buying "pink" has become a sort of claiming of the cliche, like gay subculture adopting the word "gay" to describe themselves.

But yeah, I'd rather some other colors were available. A nice steel blue, for instance. Apple did pretty well with the range of iPod colors, so maybe there's hope.</description>
