Trust me... the mini iPods are not skinned in any way, unless you count the aluminum exterior as a "skin."

I just ordered one. Looking at my collection, I can fit the whole thing on the mini. So, based on my listening taste the 4GB is plenty for those times I want music. I guess the size depends on how much music you MUST carry around. After all, how long would it take to sync and swap playlists? Not long at all. I think the mini has several things going for it. Because of it's size you can easily put it in your shirt pocket or wear it around your neck. Like a statement. The colors and finish remind me of those '50s aluminium glasses. Tiny is good. AND, I ordered the pink one damnit. And I'm a guy. I hate it when people associate gender with physical properties like color. (I also hate the term CHICK FLICK - get over it) Enough about the GIRLY COLORS. It's extremly cool.

Yeah, though the pink is not my favorite it definitely looks better in real life than on screen. I agree, the gold is bad, but the other ones are nice. And for are the people complaining about colors, what about the silver ones? Youre not complaining about the PowerBooks so if you don't want a color, go silver. I'mgetting one soon thinking of getting a green or a blue, probably blue, though it depends what shade of green it is. Is it grass/puke or is it darker?

jeffrito,

actually pink has become a 'man's color' this year. I just read an article in my local paper how the merchants are now stocking pink neckties, etc because of the demand. The shop owner said at first he resisted the ordering of pink merchandise, for fear it was just a fad. Now he seems to think that people are starting to see pink as a man's color too.

I myself never thought of wearing pink either way. I suppose I wouldn't be opposed to a pink iPod mini, but more then likely I'd get the silver.

I thought I liked the silver one most. But compared to the others it looks a bit pale. I think in nature the ugliest (to my taste) would be the blue one. The green one looks too much like a mobile phone cover that I had on my nokia for years, I don't want that same (but nice) color again .. if the gold was more yellow, I'd like it more. So the pink kind of looks very cool .. looks more vibrant than the silver .. plus if I had a pink iPod mini, no one could any more tell me I wear no colors ...

Heh. I think pink actually is a color that BOTH sexes can like at the moment .. maybe a bright red would look hot too. Or bright yellow.

Question Changing the color of the iPod mini

I know there are places that'll change the color of the iPod.

Are there similar places that do a good job of customising the color of the iPod mini?

I'd like to get a new iPod mini in either Gold or U2 iPod colors.
