What exterior iPod colours would you like, if any?
Maybe I'm a purist, but I can't see this whole fruity explosion of colour happening again.
Yes, it may evoke more personality, but it might also cheapen the look of the iPod. Especially if rumours are true of a low cost model, an all plastic model without the chrome backing would further devalue the status of the iPod (let's face it, it really is kind of a status thing).
If there were colours, perhaps they could be more muted tones or with hint of metallic. Keep it limited to four in total. How about,
Classic white
Aluminum silver
Metallic pale blue
Graphite Grey

How would that work...different snap on buttons?
Surely not a colour LCD...then again that could spill over onto the main screen.
I've heard tell that there are phones now a days with color changing LEDs, that is a button may light up blue, then shift to red or green.
ultimately I think color changing LEDs for buttons on the iPod would be the best.
what the hell happened to amber? i used to love amber-on-black displays.
p.s. wrongrobot, can you shrink the size of that image any? or just spot zoom on the different color led's?
(oh and those white/blue/and green buttons look REALLY good)

Yeah, the Samsung S105 is one of those. When I had one I had the option to change the color of the "service light" into one of 5 or 6 colors. When the phone received a call, it would spastically flash all the different colors in a psychotic seizure-like way.
But yes, it has been done, and it's pretty effective.

DMBand0026 don't forget Blue Dalmatian! Actually seriously, that might be nice, and sell...to Disco Stu...
this long url accomplishes the same thing, the Sony Reciever here has the ability to change on the fly...even better idea.
-walloo.
I personally want a Carbon Fiber iPod and I agree on the brushed aluminum idea. Would be lightweight, too.
I would dig a cobalt/royal blue as well. Would match my truck. The carbon fiber would match my interior.
Anyone remember the PB 1400 with the user-changable "book covers" on the lid? Those ROCKED. They even sent you templates to put under the plexiglass cover. Apple ought to bring them to the iPod.

Imagine an iPod that SELF CHARGES by being covered in SOLAR CELLS?
Someone dig out that old information and share it with the forum.....
