Toshiba Gigabeat U-Series Available in 24 colors

You thought the Zune team was going crazy by releasing the Zune in six different colors? Check this out! The latest MP3 player from Toshiba, the Gigabeat U103, will be available in 24 different colors, ranging from black to pink. This will be a real inventory nightmare at retail locations. If you really want to have a specific color, you better buy this MP3 player online.

Don’t you think that this multiple color trend is going too far? After the Zen, Dell’s laptop computers, Zune and now Toshiba. How many colors would be reasonable? 3, 10, 50, unlimited?

The player goes on sale today in Japan with a retail cost of around $113US.
