Samsung's K3 in red

by Thomas Ricker, posted Feb 9th 2007 at 9:06AM

Here's some K3 love just in time for V-day. It's "Wine Red" mind you, not PRODUCT (RED) so Samsung will keep a tight fist on any profits from this swank little player. What is it about the color red that makes these thin flash players look so fine? Oh wait... the red K3 won't ship until the summer. No worries, now we don't have to feel guilty 'bout showing ourselves the love instead.

[Thanks, Aniki]

Not all that bad looking of a player.

My first thought on that logo in the pic was "Oh look! A cute little face wearing headphones and carrying a flame thrower!"

What a stupid point. Product (red) don't have exclusivity on the colour red.

A color is worthy of mention? Pinch yourself pink.

Electronics companies are increasingly using different color models to differentiate their products and refresh the product lines. So, yes, a new color is worthy of mention, IMHO.

Product(Red) is a big deal in product marketing. It's everywhere, and it's been the impetus of a lot of traditionally black, white, grey, etc., products being produced in red.

No, they don't have exclusivity on the color red any more than certain people have exclusivity on beotch-y blog comments. The point that this isn't a Product(Red) device is not stupid in the least.

Is it the same with MSI P610?
