I disagree with that. I do think there is a need for things in pink. Yes a lot of girls, both big and small, squeal when they see things in pink but there's also the Cancer aspect of it. Pink is the color of breast cancer and for some that means getting something in that color to remind them of a mother, sister, grandmother or aunt that battled with the disease. Many items are made special in pink with funds going to various breast cancer organizations.

If so many are ending up in the discount bin perhaps the manufacturers should look at the quantities they're producing but I think it'd be a mistake to not make the item in that color. I know when I was looking for my pink Motorola phone I had a heck of a time trying to find it. Same with my pink One Touch Ultra Mini in Canada. They had to get the thing straight from the rep whereas they're all over the place in the US.
