Default Ford sells pink 30GB first-gen Zune, donates 100% to breast cancer research

from engadget

It's October, which inevitably means that we'll be seeing a healthy dose of gadgets in pink as manufacturers look to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This particular device, however, means a touch more to the cause than most, as both Ford and Microsoft are teaming up to donate "100-percent of the purchase price" to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Granted, this 30GB Zune is one of those first-generation models, and while we're not told exactly how many were produced, it is being marketed as a limited edition piece. So for those more concerned with the cause, infatuated with pink and absolutely cool with not receiving a second-gen Zune (any takers?), you can grab one now for $249.99.

That is odd i doubt they donate 100% to the cause they would be spending hundreds upon hundreds of thousands of dollars(for a good cause non-the less) but with none back

Why would you doubt that? You obviously never heard of a tax write off...they donate all the proceeds and get a sizable write off for taxes.....
