Back in Black...NOT
Currently, there are two generations of the iPod Nano. The 1st generation was strictly either the black or white versions. The new 2nd generation iPod Nanos are now multi-colored and come in different gigabyte memory sizes. Some of the new colors include silver, blue, green, pink, and black. Before these iPods were released, many analysts predicted that the black and silver iPods would be the hottest sellers; however, that is only 50% true. Currently, the silver iPod is outperforming all of the other colors. Silver is followed by the blue and green iPods, which are trailed by the pink and black ones.
I personally own two separate iPods. I bought the silver Ipod mini when it first came out, then later purchased the 30G black video iPod about one year ago. I use the silver iPod mainly for my workouts because it is smaller and weighs less. I use the black iPod more for walking to class and taking on trips. I currently do not own an iPod nano, but if I did, I would want the black iPod nano. Personally, I prefer the basic white and black colors. I feel that these colors are sleek and modern, while the colored ones seem like a child's toy. This may be one way that Apple is trying to target the younger generation by providing more customizable features or those people that currently do not own iPods. Many of those who currently own iPods enjoy the features of the iPod, not necessarily the colors. In the end, I like the black iPod and would personally purchase it.
