It really surprises me that Apple didn’t make colored nanos. I didn’t “get” the mini until I realized that they were going for the female market. Part of that was the size, but the other was definitely the colors.

I still can’t believe it was their best selling model…I guess maybe there were too many versions of the 1.8 models.

I can. Women (in general) tend to go for gadgets that are small, cute/fashiony, friendly/easy-to-use and inexpensive. Spec sheets aren’t a big draw for that market.

Any marketeer with a male-leaning product will tell you that guy product + girls = sales! It worked for The Sims and Harry Potter (the opposite way, though).

I can’t remember where I read this stat but in a survey done on the street, the average number of tunes on mp3 players was about 150.  This includes the 512mb and 1gb flash players, but even not counting those the number of tunes only raised to about 300.

This shows that most people don’t need more than a few gigs.  Coupled with the smaller size and choice of colours (including pink, always a winner) it’s not surprising it sold well.  The nano is placed just right.

I have about 30 and change filled on my 40. I knew 20 would be too small…I have some room to grow.

As for colorware…I’ve always loved what they do…I will send them my Intel Mac Mini when it comes out (and I get it)...silver and black to match my TV…I can’t wait.
