Question would you buy a black ipod?

i think black would be sexy on an ipod if implemented correctly... and the back could be black chrome. i still love the futuristic ipod white, and doubt apple wants to stray from their white/silver scheme that they haave with all their products, but its still cool looking. the link below is a photoshop i whipped up really quickly with my idea for a clear, backlit scroll wheel. would you buy this?

Black COULD Be Cool, but not like the U2 one. They would need to give it a slick look and have the back be brushed metallic black. "Black", Is Too Vague. If they made it like you photoshoped it, it would suck.

-my 2 cents

i really dont think the word black is to vague... and plus the only thing different in your description and my mock-up is a brushed back. notice i dont show the back... but alright.

give me an idea of what you mean... photoshop one yourself.

Love the backlit clickwheel. i think it would be cool if apple let you choose different colors for the clickwheel lights.

I wouldn't mind having the buttons for the click wheel have a light, like the 3G buttons. Backlight clickwheel, I wouldn't want it so much.
