I don't find it patronizing at all. It's been said a few times in the comments already that the consumer, male or female, can choose what color they want their products to be. Personally I'd love a flaming pink device. Then I wouldn't have to try so hard to get people to notice it when I'm in brag mode. Seriously though, if one isn't happy with the choice of colors that manufacturers place on the market then it is up to said party to call, email, post on forums, or walk in to these places of business and demand more variety. Otherwise, you're stuck with a color that old fashioned thinkers still deem "hip and cool".
