I’m all up for a good cause that involves gadgets, since not only do people in need get something but I have the perfect excuse ready when I’m grilled about buying another toy I don’t really need.

In the US, Microsoft has teamed up with Warriors In Pink to create a customized Zune designed to raise money for breast cancer awareness and support. Unlike other gadgets that give a weenie portion of the money to charity, 100% of what punters pay goes to the Susan G. Koman For the Cure foundation, the world’s largest network of breast cancer survivors and activists.

Ford and Microsoft are footing the bill for the Limited Edition Zunes. Strange though how it’s an old Zune, not one of the superior Zune 2 devices launched recently. That said, a free firmware update is set to give old Zune users many of the features of the new ones. And anyway, a good cause is a good cause.

There’s little chance of this coming to the UK but you can order online here.-Martin Lynch
