I got a silver one to match my PB. I know I am never going to get tired of that color, imagine you buy a green one, or a pink and you stop liking it? What do you do? Buy another iPod?
Also silver is so... generic? simple? It is... silver, it isn't feminine (I agree the new blue one is), it is not masculine, or a loud color (do you actually say that??; in spanish when a color is like that, very bright, we say it is 'chillón', which means screaming, as if the color screamed at you...😛)
That's because I like silver in iPods and cars! 😉
PS:Sorry for the spanish lesson... 😱
PS (II): I bought an iSkin protector for the iPod mini (the one that glows in the dark 😀) and after several uses, the silicone will eventually start to crack (mine hasn't, but to insert the iPod mini you have to stretch it into the case, and it doesn't seem good for the silicone to fatigate so much)
