I often wonder why folks try to speculate so much - perhaps they own Apple stock - but perhaps it's as fingerso8, we all wish at time to time that a product could be better. I've just recently given-up wishing for things from Apple with the introduction of their 'Mighty Mouse' - yeh, 2 buttons!
Anyway, I've never been disappointed with any Apple product, I've owned - it speaks to quality of design - and I'm sure in the future they'll still produce quality systems - so why speculate, I'm ready to be pleasantly surprised.

Hi,
Interesting theory but in the end I don’t feel it much matters. I don’t think the iPod will lose market share due to a colour change. To date, Apple has experienced enormous success with the iPod indicative of their sales and you cannot walk on down the street without seeing the signature white headphone cables. I suspect, as Apple probably does, that the market is starting to get saturated. What I think Apple would like me to do is purchase a new iPod to replace my original 5gb version (‘1G’). If the folks at Apple believe an iPod with a colour screen or U2 and their coloured iPod will help them reach this goal, so be it.
Thanks,
dw.
p.s. as an addition, I also wonder if Steve Jobs, secretly, ever wanted to be a rock star?
