The pink version, released earlier this month, is outselling white and brown, according to the company. That makes it second only to black."</em></p><p><img alt="" src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/zt/2007/DFC-pinkzune-052407.jpg" /></p><p>No, I've never been a fan of pink technology, but I do find this news thoroughly unsurprising. After black, I'd say pink is probably the second most popular color of anything. In my opinion, the only reason why MS even released a white Zune (and subsequently why anyone ever bought one) is because the iPod is white. And the only reason why anyone ever bought a white iPod was because for a while they were only available in that color. Microsoft should have released a pink Zune for the very get-go. Now if they would just consider a stainless-steel Zune... ;-)</p>
