Black EX-71s going away?

[apetaster]

I've noticed that the black 71s are becoming harder and harder to find, and that they are being replaced in brick and mortar stores with either the white version of the 71s or the black version of the 81s (with the earhook thing.)

Anyone else notice this?

Well the whole EX-71 lineup is discontinued and replaced with EX-81's. The only reason why your seeing more white ones is because black sells faster since the white ones are basically only bought by ipodders.

That's what I suspected / feared. Thanks for the confirmation.
