So I vote for blue or silver to be the most popular. I also vote for green to be the least popular, with gold coming in second most unpopular.

However, I also think that Apple will sell large numbers of all of them.

i think silver will be the one. goes well with the pro hardware (g5 and powerbooks). i still cant shake the feeling that once the fad phase of the mini will pass, people will see the fact that for only $50 more you can have almost 4 times the space to store stuff, and all the peripherals that the 15gb ipod unlocks. i dunno. still seems to damn expensive for what you get. i dont think the form factor is worth the price.

Silver for sure, you can +1 my order in there.

[Kenneth]

Definitely not GOLD.

Well, 100000 pre-orders would disagree with you. I also think the form factor is great. When it hits 8 GB, I'll probably buy one and sell off my 15 GB 3G.

4 GB is not enough fo me, since I like to keep a couple of GB free for data.

[Fozz_uk]

Tsk, which muppet voted for pink?

[KP*]

I think it will be silver and blue. Silver for people who are buying the mini just for its size, blue will be the most popular among people who want a more vibrant color.

What? Are you bored? Slow day at the office?

The form factor is perfect. I ordered mine (in the US) because I wanted an iPod, but the normal iPod is too big and heavy for me and even the 40GB isn't enough for all of my music .And the thing is that I really do not need all that music with me all te time. I just make good playlists. I probably won't use the entire 4GB. And the best thing: It only costs me 220 euros (€197=$249 at the day of the announcement + a bit extra for the person that brings it along from the US). The iPod Mini will probably retail for €250 or more here... But the mini has 2 downsides: 8 hours battery is a bit in the short side and no LCD remote. (I'm coming form a Sony MZ-E10 MD-player).

Anyway, on topic: I orderded the silver one

Why not? Gold would match the Inka gold PT Cruiser..

Personal opinion, I think Pink will be pretty popular. I just bought my wife a new coach purse and wallet and it's limited edition in Pink. From what people say on TV and such, pink is going to be the color for this summer, and if that's the case, we know all the socialites will have a pink iPod.... I like silver, but we already pre-ordered a pink one for her so it matches her purse....hell the purse was more expensive than the ipod

As Aerosmith put it: pink, it's my new obsession, pink it's not even a question....

[JHromadka]

Silver. Matches the Powerbook.

[Webscreamer]

Personally, Silver is always classy, but on the wild side Pink and Green are nice. I think BLUE is the ugliest of them all...

Someone has already checked out the Amazon.com pre-sales ranks. Gold is dead-last... by a lot:

Silver for sure. I'd probably want to get blue, though (but green is nice too! You don't see enough green on electronics). But I'm still perfectly happy with my old 10GB iPod.

Silver - 66
Pink - 105
Blue - 220
Green - 324
Gold - 1117

I wonder how these ranking translate into real sales numbers.

The silver is just look plain and dull.
Pink is my favorite choice.

For the Gold.. may be some ppls want to stay away from the majority.

[BrunoBruin]

Pink is the new neutral.

Personally, I am waiting to see the colors in person before making a choice. The patterned iMac cases looked very different in the stores than they did in photos.

[Minty Fresh]

I personally think the top 3 will be -

Silver
Pink
Green

[Immortal K-Mart Employee]

Last I saw in the preorders was pink was second MOST popular and Gold the least.

[lunarlander]

the silver one will never go out of style, i have a feeling that if i buy any other color it will just be one of those "what was i thinking " type of things

[lunarlander]

oh yeah almost forgot, before you start dissing the gold one to bad check out this video. it shows that the gold is m alot more gold then in the pictures at apple.com

Silver will be #1 for guys, pink #1 for girls. Blue will probably be #2 for both.

[OreoCookie]

I'd order one in gold if I had the money and no 20 gig 2nd gen iPod

[nobitacu]

Silver hands down. But I do also like the look of the green as well.

As an owner of a mini, 15, and 40gb model, I have to say that the design of the white ones (3G) is wonderful... I really do like this... it is sorta nicer to hold.
