Hey Apple Give Us Our Pink iPhone!

3 Alternatives To Buying A Non-Existent Pink Unit

Trust me, I tried.

As early as the iPhone 2g, I have already emailed Apple – countless times in fact – about releasing a pink unit.

Just imagine… a pink iPhone.

How glorious the world can be!  A phone that will perfectly represent our sense of style and our taste in fashion!  A phone that will symbolize our preferred lifestyle!  A phone that will paint our lives in a wonderful hue every time our fingers slide across its screen!

For many women, a pink iPhone is the pinnacle of techno-fashion.  It just screams perfection.  It’s the ideal match of form, style and function.  Pink and iPhones… the heavens above intended them to be together!

And I know I’m not the only one who’s been clamoring for a pink iPhone.

Alas, our pleas have fallen on deaf ears.  Years after the very first iPhone was released, and more than a year after the revolutionary iPhone 3g was introduced to the market, there is still no sign of a pink variety of the device.

Rumors have swirled in recent months that a pink iPhone is on its way.  But they remain rumors until this point in time.  The talks about the pink iPhone being released in time for Valentine’s Day of 2009 never materialized, and people like us are slowly losing hope.

Hence, us desperate souls have to resort to other means just to get our pink iPhone fix.

One such alternative is, without a doubt, the simplest of the lot.  There are many silicon casings for our beloved iPhones, and a lot of them come in pink.  Take, for example, the Marware Sport Grip, a product that comes in pink and which seeks to protect your iPhone from wear and tear.  Aside from a scratch-free unit, you’d also be able to create the illusion of having a pink iPhone… at least from afar.

Another alternative are decal stickers.  Decal stickers simulate the look and feel of the actual surface of the iPhone.  If expertly implemented, these stickers won’t look like stickers at all.  They will look like the actual surface of the iPhone straight from the factory.  And yes, there are pink decal stickers.

The third alternative is quite popular these days.  ColorWare is a service that customizes gadgets so that they can assume the color you want them to assume – pink included, of course.  ColorWare customizes laptops, MP3 players, gaming consoles, digital cameras, iPods, cellular phones, and yes, iPhones.  Just select a design, send over your unit, and in just a matter of days, you’d have it back in the color you want it to exhibit.

These options are our best bets until such time when Apple finally listens to our demands for a pink iPhone.

Motorola H500 Bluetooth Wireless Headset

Who is to say that necessities can’t be accessories?

Recently in the news there has been a lot of talk about the dangers of driving while talking on cell phones. Some studies have shown that simply taking part in a short, brief cell phone conversation can reduce our reaction time by half and increase our chances of an accident by that much again.

So why are we all still so prone to answer our ringing phones and continue to drive with only one hand on the steering wheel?

The harsh truth is this may be one of those things that no one takes all that seriously until it is too late.

Many companies such as Motorola have come up with an answer to this driving dilemma. Bluetooth wireless headsets allow drivers to still continue with their daily conversations without having to compromise safety and security.

The Motorola H500 in particular is durable, comfortable and can even be worn by users with eyeglasses! It is also light enough, weighing in at only .6oz, that it is hardly noticeable while on your ear. The Motorola H500 has also been upgraded to include 8 full hours of talk time, and an even more impressive 150 hours of standby time before having to be recharged.

Still not sold? The H500 can also be bent and adjusted to provide customized comfort. It also provides high quality inbound and outbound sound and is compatible with any phone, computer or PDA that is programmed to accept basic Bluetooth profiles!

Still not good enough? Well then this next feature is sure to blow you away! The Motorola H500 is available in a soft, not too flashy, subtle shade of blush pink! So it is sure to match your pink steering wheel cover, pink air freshener, pink floor mats, pink decals, pink wallet and even your pink cell phone that is now safely nestled in your console.
