Professional? Possibly.
Masculine? Not necessarily.

I never understood how a color signifies masculinity/femininity. :confused:
I am a man and I will be purchasing the white and probably an orange or gray smart cover.:D

But I understand where you're coming from.

It is dumb, I'd definitely agree with you. But that doesn't stop some deep instinct inside me from screaming "girlie!!!" when seeing the white ipad. I grew up in the 80's and maybe the white ipad would have gone nicely with my capezio's, parachute pants and members only jacket (wow I should have shot myself back then).
 
I'm not sure of the white tbh. It's like an optical illusion, to me it makes the refined bezel look bigger than it does on the black.
 
White looks whack to me. Like 80's photo frames. Make s the bezel look bigger and i think it would be disctracting from the viewing. Black for me.
 
Not this argument again.

Then again if your thinking about one of the smart cases you need to consider that color as well (or colour for those who drive on the wrong side of the road). Wouldn't want a fashion snafu.

IMO white iProducts look cheap/ tacky and sort of shows that you're only interested in the status symbol the product provides rather than its functionality.

Black.

haha how did you come to that conclusion

im getting the white.

people who are afraid to buy a different colour then the "typical" male colour is just afraid. Its kinda sad really. That you have to buy a colour just because you think what others might think of you.
so sad. be a man, and buy what you want

My daily interactions with people who have white iPhones. They usually have more money than common sense and have no idea how to work half the features of their white iPhone.
 
White!

I love the way the black bars look on 16:9 movies. Instead of black bars on black bezel.

For me the movie looks larger. Personal preference. People get so worked up sometimes! lol

Well the black and white are prized the same so i dunno what you are talking about, some people like cake, others like fruit

some people like white, some people like black.

if you want to make a psychology debate about it, fine.
 
Definitely black. Black bezel makes contrast of the picture much better and blacks will "seem" deeper to the eye.

Funny, I've heard "...you're only interested in the status symbol the product provides rather than its functionality" said about any Apple product regardless of color.

You'll note I said persons who buy white iProducts are usually only interested in the status symbol. That should indicate then that persons who buy black iProducts are also interested in the status symbol the iProduct provides but also value the functionality of the iProduct.
 
Quite a racist thread. :D

Seriously, white bezels give more distractions on the peripheral vision. Black all the way. And yes, Serena Williams plays well. :D

I disagree. If someone thinks you are a poser because you have an iPad or an iPhone colors not going to change their mind.
 
I'm a big fan of the white iPhones, but seeing a big white bezel looks weird like that.. I think its something I'd need to see in person before making a decision.

I can accept that.

However, speaking again from my personal experience, persons who use White iPhone get a lot more 'crap' than persons who have Black iPhones. I suspect that this will mirror persons who get a White iPad versus persons who get a Black iPad.

I'm planning to get the new iPad 2 right after it releases.
Now comes the dilemma... Which color?!

I really like black, think it's sexy, but I like white too.

So just curious:
What color would you get?

Oh, and white one is not girly so don't say that...
 
Definately white.

I have an iPad 1 that i do not plan on selling that is black(obviously)

so i want the white.
