To help getting into better shape for our upcoming 40mi bike race ( for the LIVESTRONG Challenge) my wife wants to get a Shuffle. Her 80G iPod is apparently not convenient when riding a bicycle. :headphone

So what color do you think she'll get when we visit the Apple Store today?

edit: I already have an orange one, so odds are she won't get one of those.

What color outfit will she wear in the bike race? The Shuffle will go with that.

My bet is on blue! It would be clinche to think pink. Women nowadays want variety and to be free from the shackles of cliche

I picked orange. I think orange looks pretty cool.

I think that's the one I'm getting too. My brother got one free with his mobile and I've made an educated guess that it's coming my way for my birthday - He's a cheapskate but I'm happy all the same :black:

I want one too and I think I'd choose the silver. The other colors are a bit gaudy, imho.

According to Amazon, their sales of Shuffles by color popularity:

1. Silver
2. Blue
3. Pink
4. Orange
5. Green

The first four colors are all in the top 20 Amazon MP3 players overall (by sales figures). Green was #21.

Amazing info...makes you wonder why. I guess we're just faddish people and some things catch on better than others, even colors.

I got a silver one, but if I hadn't gotten silver I would have gotten orange. I thougt after a while I might get bored with the orange so I got silver.

I would imagine the popularity of Silver is due to its release before Christmas. The other colors likely have not sold as much due to their relatively recent release.

I didn't realize the silver came out first. Good to know, and certainly a valid point. Thanks!

I tried searching the web for better sales statistics but came up with nothing.
