iriver gets in touch with its inner pink

We're not exactly sure what the special event is -- Breast Cancer Awareness Month isn't until October -- but we suppose you can celebrate the joy of pink whenever the mood strikes. Iriver is busting out pink versions for a bunch of its players, including the clix, MPlayer, D5 and recently-launched E100. Apparently a set of pink colored pencils is also included as a free "gift" with the purchase of any of these units, which should come in handy for that Precious Moments diptych we were thinking of doing.

Care to elaborate on exactly what you think is 'garbage' ?

[NIHONS @ Mar 3rd 2008 8:53AM]

iriver's design is so gorgeous

[Arno @ Mar 3rd 2008 8:56AM]

Lolage, you said "inner pink."

[AJ in the East Bay @ Mar 3rd 2008 9:14AM]

Yeah, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!!

[fischju @ Mar 3rd 2008 11:28AM]

I would like to get in touch with HER inner pink!

[Fernando @ Mar 3rd 2008 9:01AM]

Is there a symbolism in 37.2 degrees Celsius that I'm missing?

[Carbonize @ Mar 3rd 2008 9:10AM]

Body temperature. I guess they are going for the whole "pink healthy glow" idea. Which is weird given the oriental woman modelling it.

[ijyt @ Mar 3rd 2008 9:10AM]

Supposedly body temp, which I've been told is 36.6.

[mickel @ Mar 3rd 2008 9:54AM]

The body temperature is between 36.5 - 37.5, but the "perfect/median" temperature is 37.2 or about 99 fahrenheit.

[Udhar @ Mar 4th 2008 3:51AM]

37.2 is supposed to be the temperature of woman's body during orgasm.
Hence the title of the movie "37.2 le matin"

her lips match the color of the mp3 player

[Chris Anderson @ Mar 3rd 2008 9:18AM]

Why hasn't there been an "I'd get in touch with HER inner pink" joke yet??

[spacegravity4me @ Mar 3rd 2008 10:26AM]

unfortunately that's the first thing I thought.

[Howard @ Mar 3rd 2008 9:21AM]

She's surprisingly tranny-ish for a Korean tech model.

[Ralph @ Mar 3rd 2008 10:09AM]

That title is very suggestive and makes me think of stinky finger.

[Maff @ Mar 3rd 2008 10:33AM]

set if pink pencils? those look black to me!

[Maff @ Mar 3rd 2008 10:36AM]

that should be 'set of' ^^^

[netddos @ Mar 3rd 2008 10:42AM]

37.2 degrees Celsius is suppose to amplify their tag line written on that marketing plaque in the picture.
Rough translation would be (one that makes sense)..
"Feel your pink with the body"

Direct translation would be..
"Feeling pink with body temperature"

[jd @ Mar 3rd 2008 11:15AM]

wow. finally somebody starting to post real model with asian background. this is one cute asian chick. unlike lucy lu(fugly)

[ssuk @ Mar 3rd 2008 11:58AM]

... What?

[secede @ Mar 3rd 2008 1:19PM]

Probably the reason they're doing pink now is because of their 14th day of the month holidays in S. Korea. Feb 14th is white day. It's not quite like Valentines day. Basically the girl is supposed to get the guy something. Then on March 14th (black day), the guy is supposed to get the girl something--thus the pink iriver for your girl in march.

[Mike @ Mar 5th 2008 9:03PM]

Actually, Valentine's day (Feb 14th) is still Valentine's day in South Korea, but they celebrate it differently - the girl gives a present (usually chocolate) to the guy. March 14th is White day, the guy gives a present to the girl. April 14th is Black day - this day is for those without a gf, bf - singles get together and eat a noodle dish called zzajangmyun, which has a black sauce - hence the name Black day. White day and Black day are just made up days and are not officially sanctioned by anyone or organization.

It's women's history month too now, there have been quite a few pink items released. Too bad women who really like tech gadgets are unlikely to be the pink-loving sort.
