[QUOTE="caribiner23, post: 148493, member: 9169"] I disagree. I work in a major metropolitan area and I take public transportation and walk on the streets a lot. I also have a teenage daughter, so I overhear [I]a lot [/I] of conversations. It seems many people-- and I have to say in my experience it's been primarily women who've said this-- bought their "cute" pink or green iPod minis because of exactly that-- they're "cute." They didn't care about the fact that a white iPod may hold several times more music than the mini (or whether or not they could afford them)-- they wanted something that is basically a fashion statement and the cool thing to have. I had a conversation with an Apple Store manager when the iPod mini was first introduced, and I asked why Apple would introduce a product at that price point when, for a few dollars more, a buyer could get much more capacity. He said the mini was geared towards a different market-- the mini was supposed to attract people who were more concerned about the "coolness" or "cuteness" factor than the more functional user.
