    Black is the new black

    From [E-Commerce Times](http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/GCOuEFG4TFj5Ul/Analyst-Sees-Good-But-Not-Great-Initial-Sales-of-Nano.xhtml):

    > Wu also reported that black nanos are outselling the white ones by 5 to 1 on average, and as high as 8 to 1 in some locations.

    But apparently the new black is not enough to trump the colorful selection:

    > We believe the iPod nano may cause sticker shock as consumers are not getting more storage for their dollar, as they are accustomed to [....] Apple may need to either increase the storage capacity to match at least the iPod mini or keep its storage capacities and cut the price by US$50. We believe the former is more likely.

    Personally, I choose which iPod to buy by looking for that magic balance of physical size and content size, one that makes the device disappear. A good iPod is one you don’t notice when you carry it around, and you don’t notice because you don’t have to keep shuffling music in and out of its limited storage.

    It’s really interesting to see what other people consider a good size/size ratio.

      nano

      i really want one of these
      ipod nano’s

      i like the black the best im just worried that it would snap in my pocket if i leaned to far forward to tie my shoelace or something

      but thats just me being paranoid

      i cant see people wanting the ipod mini or shuffle now

      no wonder there so eager to give them away with popular packets of crisps all over the world?
