GeekSugar — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 04:00:43 -0700

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Canon is increasing pink awareness with their Canon Pink Bundle ($280), which features a PowerShot SD1100 IS Digital ELPH camera, and the SELPHY CP760 Compact Photo Printer, both in a pink melody hue. You'll also get a pink ribbon charm and a mammogram reminder magnet to help promote their pink campaign. What I love about this pink product bundle is the fact that you can print your pics from the cam, without having to connect to a computer - just pop in your memory card to preview, display and print!

Breast Cancer Awareness month is almost here, and with that, there's always pretty-in-pink gadgets to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer research. We debuted the Pink Ribbon DS Lite this morning, and now Sony is getting in on the action for the second year in a row with pink laptop bundles. The Sony VAIO CR pack includes a 14.1-inch LCD screen, a Core 2 Duo CPU, a built-in DVD burner, and a matching case and mouse, while the VAIO SR comes with a 13.3-inch LED backlit display and up to 320GB of HDD space. Bundle prices start at $870 and $1,399. They haven't shown up on Sony's website yet, but I'm sure they'll be available for purchase starting on the first of the month.

Pink on My Gadgets Isn't Always a Bad Thing

I have a love-hate relationship with the color pink, especially on my gadgets. I like sporting the color on occasion, but I don't like how tech manufacturers think that women only like their gadgets glossed in the feminine hue. Thankfully, I can totally get behind the pink ribbon movement that supports breast cancer research, and subsequently use it as an excuse to buy another DS. What? It's to fight cancer!

For a limited time, Nintendo is rolling out a Pink Ribbon DS Lite that supports cancer research and awareness. For each Pink Ribbon DS that's purchased, Nintendo will donate $5.00 to the Susan G. Komen For The Cure research fund, with a whopping $100,000 minimum promised. If there's any reason to go out and splurge on a new DS for yourself or the women in your life, I'm thinking this is your shot! You can get your own on Amazon and in stores on October 19.

The DVD That Refuses to Be Ignored

Look, I am totally mature. But I still teeheeheed at this CD and case, although what it actually is is no laughing matter.

The breast-inspired design is for a great cause; the DVD promotes breast cancer awareness. The left, and empty side represents what happens when you don't check your breast health, while the DVD encourages insertion into a player to find out how. Either way, it's definitely creative and, uh, titillating.
