Colored iPods?

Saturday July 17, 2004 11:25 pm PDT by Arnold Kim
A few reports indicate that Best Buy has received new product codes for new iPods to be available in August and September:

Purple iPod (15GB)
Yellow iPod (20GB)
Orange iPod (40GB)

Presumably this could be an abbreviated list, but may hint toward color iPods associated with the impending release.

White will definitely be included. I do not
imagine that colors will be restricted to
designated hard drive capacities though....

Perhaps it refers to the color of the backlight?

Is it lavender or silver? I zoomed in on the Newsweek cover and it looks like what ThinkSecret described (a silver wheel). Lavender would be cool though.

I hope they got rid of the mirror finish. Too difficult to preserve and likely adds needlessly to the weight. I hope the the clickwheel is the only metal thing on this.. and if so the metal wheel will match each plastic case color. A mirror-finish apple logo on the back would be cool tho.

I'll take one in the "Orange" variety, please. (Also from Apple Store, rather than BB)

It's pretty clear from TS's pre-Newsweek story that the color rumors refer to new Mini colors. (Maybe new capacities too?) NOT to the regular iPod.

The new iPod's wheel just looks grey to me. Might be silver--not colored.

Even the Newsweek article itself says the new iPods are only in white.
