I got black because I've had several white iPods and because it seemed like it wouldn't stand out as much while watching video. No scratches so far, but I am pretty careful with it…

Every other electronic device in the world has appeared in black. The iPod broke the mold by traditionally staying white. Whenever anybody sees a white electronic device, people au…

I got classic white, baby.

I originally went to the local Apple store fully intent on getting a 60GB white model. It was only after comparing it side-by-side with a black model that I realized that black, fo…

The extra space on the click wheel on a white model stands out more than other iPods. I went with a black since I'll probably get a black Radtech case for it once the 5G cases come…

I think it's interesting -- and slightly amusing -- that a lot of people would choose a white iPod based on the fact that iPods are "supposed" to be white. The iPod has only exist…

black is way sexier....the black ipods are for sexy people

I was wondering about this too... There is all that complaining about the the new iPods scratching too much. I can see how the black iPods would "show" more scratches vs. white iP…

I've had my black 60GB for a week and no obvious scratches so far. I'm careful with it, but I do put it in the pocket of my shorts, etc.

Colors won't matter if you buy one of the many iPod tattoo skins or a case. I can't imagine the white color of the iPod hurting someone's eyes that much.... I can imagine that wat…

Yeah, I love the beauty of a naked iPod but I can't bear to see my iPod scratched (particularly the screen). I think the InvisibleShield is a nice alternative if you want to see t…

There is only ONE color for an iPod, and Apple should be ashamed for ever thinking otherwise.

I agree with bilkay, all the Windows user apple buyers will get Black because they think it will look cool and representing windows and getting a iPod is gay, and not in the homose…

I bought a white 60GB 5G. Matches all the accessories for my older iPod (headphones, cables, etc), plus it matches the Universal Dock, my keyboard, mouse... basically everything. I…

Wouldn't a white ipod make the contrast on the screen look better? I mean, if the screen doesn't have very good black levels (I haven't seen one), then having a black bezel would …
