By now everyone should know that October is Breast Cancer Awareness month - and if you didn’t donate yet, here are some great digital products that will let you support the cause and look cool doing it.

Sony Reader Pocket Edition in Rose Sony is showing its support by donating $110,000 in conjunction with sales made in October from the Reader Pocket Edition bundle in rose and the pink VAIO W Series Mini Notebook bundle. If you haven’t already seen Sony’s version of the mini laptop, it’s worth taking a look.

Jill-E camera bags Jill-E makes gorgeous camera bags for female photographers - why should they have to walk around with those boring bulky, black bags normally found in camera shops? With every purchase of the pink medium or small camera bag, Jill-E will donate a percentage of the sales to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

Dell When you purchase from Dell’s “Promise Pink” line, a portion of the sale goes to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure cancer charity. I have a pink Dell laptop and love it.

Nintendo Nintendo has created a new DS Lite that is available in white with a Pink Ribbon model on the front cover. For each purchase of the new DS Lite, Nintendo will donate $5 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure, and has guaranteed a $100,000 donation.

Sanyo Phones If you are in the market for a new cell phone, check out the Pink Sanyo phone. Qwest Wireless is donating 10 percent of sales to benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure with a guaranteed minimum of $50,000.

Polaroid Polaroid has teamed up with Elizabeth Hurley to contribute $60,000 to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. They are going pink this month, offering four digital cameras in magenta, pink, and light pink shades.

KitchenAid Not necessarily considered a tech gadget but I just had to include it because I love their mixers. If you register your new Artisan Series Stand Mixer or Hand Mixer at kitchenaid.com they will donate $50 for each stand mixer and $8 for each hand mixer to Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

It’s great to see large companies contributing to the cause. If you are in the market for a new tech gadget, why not check out some of the above and support Breast Cancer Awareness Month?
