Why?


My reason: I would go with silver or blue. The silver looks better but blue is my favorite color. I have a 30GB now and am thinking of selling it to get a mini. I know less space for music but these things feel better and don't scratch as easy and they are smaller.

Green is my favourite colour, hence my choice.

I may be looking at a green mini when they come in sizes around 10Gb.

I'd go for pink I think - it looks pretty snazzy and (from what I hear) not many people would have that colour.

But I like all the colours except gold.

Silver seems to be the most neutral (boring) colour. Spice it up!
I'm getting blue. If they had orange I'd get that instead.

Green because I feel calmer when I look at it. I'd get the pink one, but I don't want to be another girl with a peeeenk minipod

Do you think there will be more colours in the future? I'd like to see ORANGE

I'm partial to blue, it seems to be the majority so far. The silver would be a close second.

Silver. But I don't really like any of the colors, silver is the one I dislike the least.

pink, becuz it will match my pink shirts. pink accentuates the skin tone, and will be the hott colour this spring.

having said that, sometimes I worry that in 2 years or so, I will look back at these iPod mini colours and think "yuck, what were we thinking?" sort of like the key lime ibooks or turquoise g3s

tall and tan and young and lovely

i'd really have to see one in person before making a choice. but by web pictures i'd say i'd go with silver.

Green, it would match my fave shirts hahaha... kidding.

But no I have always regretted not getting the Lime iMac. I figure with an iPod mini I could make it up to myself... not that I can afford one...

Silver is for the guys that don't want to be perceived as "gay" cuz their MP3 player may have a tint of colour to it.

And I would get green cuz it is funky.

I went to apple store today to see the ipod mini in person, and the gold color isn't that bad. Actually it looks much better in person than in photo. And the pink one looks worse in person than in photo.

Enough said, i'll have either the silver or blue.

I'd go with silver because I like to have my peripherals match my machine. And since I have a QuickSilver, the silver iPod would look a little better to me. And when I get a G5, the iPod would match that too.

But they all look good, even the pink one. I hope they move the full size iPod to an aluminum case in the future.

That is what I was thinking.

I don't think silver fits too well with the others but at least they got 4 of the 5 colors right.

I just now noticed my colors in my sig are the colors of the 5 iMacs. I must be taking in Apple Computer at a whole new subconscious level.

it is really a color switch box from http://www.truepop.com/test/ and I wasn't thinking colored iMacs when I made it.

I would buy a purple iPod mini above all others in a heart beat...

Purple and black would rock. What was apple thinking?

I got a blue one, only because they didn't have gold.

Have you seen the 40GB "wet" one?

http://www.colorwarepc.com/products/...170&optId=1677

That is what I believe the HPod or whatever it is called looks like. Why would someone pay $65 more for that?

I'll take mine in Key Lime ... er, I mean Lime ... uh, make mine green.

Point: on the mini, wonder why did Apple not go with their traditional naming patterns of the past, like Indigo instead of blue, Graphite vs. silver, etc.?


MP 2 x 2.8 and etc.

I would think direct comparisons to coloured iMacs are probably unwanted by Apple.

having now seen all colors in person, the shades are different than in photos or videos.. the green and blue look the most appealing to me, the silver's bland.

Perhaps an iPod - normal one. Fits better with my iBook, and have room for all my mp3s.

Like the grey one thought. ( Confirmed star wars guy, I don't like it color-gay looking. )
