I have no idea whether I want black or white. I'm leaning towards black at the moment, but white has a certain "old iPod" appeal to me.
 
I'm thinking white. I like the idea of Apple returning to their roots of the beautiful, clean, white products. It's just more Apple and more old school tech but with the modern form factor of the iPad. So I'm thinking white iPad.:apple:
 
White looks very fresh and clean to me. If I get one, it'll be white with a grey cover.
 
Apple does white justice unlike some other companies, it's also the newest trend to have white versions of the original. If your confident and can rock the white you'll catch the ladies eyes, im still debating but i think i really want white i had black iPad 1and those new cover look nice on white especially black red and that dark bluegray
 
I'm getting white + red and I could care less what others think when I bust it out at the airport.
 
be honest: would a white ipad and red case look feminine? I can't quite tell

If you like it, screw what everyone else thinks. Right?! I'm getting the white too, and I really do like red leather. I'm starting with the black leather cover but the red still intrigues me and I may very well end up with it too at some point. :p
 
Is this just me, and I may have missed this. If I have Im sorry. It seems to me that with the white boarder youre (I'm) able to focus more on the content of the screen and less so on the border of said content.

Thoughts?

Black, all the way. White looks cheap, plus think how ugly a black bezel on a MacBook would look. Probably would take away a bit of perceived 'definition', and to me probably wouldn't provide adequate contrast

So correct me If I'm wrong! but you clearly state that white looks cheap. but then you start how a black bezel on a macbook would look! not bad at all! it's just what you prefer I guess!!

totally different now!
My iphone is white and I love it! And saying white is a status symbol is quite wrong in my opinion. It's just what you prefer

Would I buy a black or white Ipad? I don't know. It's still open for discussion:)

It's not Feminine! No color is really feminine! it's what you prefer. If you like pink you buy something pink! If you like red than buy red!! En plus, you help a good cause :D
 
I hope the white is really crisp white.

It's strange, but for some reason almost all the photo's people have taken themselves it looks pretty off white.

I guess it's the lighting or their camera's?
 
i dont know what color.. i say white for me..i had too much apple stuff thats black..except my magic mouse...you know decal companies are going to make decal for the front side so you can have a different looks..
 
I voted black, as I thought the white was kind of ugly when it was first announced. However, now it has REALLY grown on me. What to do...
 
God I just cannot decide!

I guess it all depends how vivid the white looks in real life, if it looks as dull as it does on the engadget pictures then I'll go for the traditional black, if not I'll probably choose the white with a black/navy or red leather smart cover.
:D

No way the white is going to be dull. This is apple your talking about.
 
Yes - but I think you already knew that :p

If I go white I'm considering the red leather as well ---- I initially thought white for sure since I have 3 black's and white is something new but as you look at the pic's it is not growing in me yet. One of my gripes about the original pad and the pad#2 is the large bezel and the white appears to emphasize the BEZEL even more. You may not have a choice at launch day if a particular color sells out -- Not sure how many of the cases in each color they will stock. If it's anything like the 1 launch my store sold out of the OEM case in a few hours.

I'm really liking the orange and white combo. It was calling to me and then I realized it was because it reminded me of my original tangerine iBook.
