Second that! In the OG Clip days, mine was silver and the gf's was light pink. Easy to tell apart, and she loves running or hitting the gym with the little pink player.

Wish they would make some Clip+/Fuze+ in light pink with high capacities! That white Fuze that came out a couple months ago was slick looking too. I'd take that finish for a Fuze+ 16Gb anyday.

More like a "I can put out Fuzes in whatever colour I want, but I'm not putting them out when you want them to! BWAHAHAHAHA!" from SanDisk.

Nothing like a little spontaneous semi rarity to spark the color collector types, though, eh?

We'll need a case anyway, right? Why not shift the color decision to the case instead of tying it to the technology? That way, if you want to change your mind later, you can do it for a decent price. Sandisk sells cases, we get whatever color we want, and everybody wins.

I like that. By taking colour out of the SKU equation, it means they can expand capacity options. But it also means Sandisk making and promoting the skins themselves, and if I cast my mind back to the release of the Clip+, advertising doesn't seems to be their strong point - it was a whole new product just kind of thrust upon us.

But yeah, Sandisk Sansa being a more value driven range are more likely to sell you a pack of skins, and tout switchable colours as a feature - unlike the iPhone where official accessories are a racket and one rubber band costed you $29.

Or maybe follow the old Nokia's with their switchable covers.

Hell, copy the N79, and have auto switching colour themes according to the colour plate that's on the body right now.

I am so Tired of Black Players
All my Players are black except a Sony which is champagne
It come to a point "What is wrong with companies today"
When I call Stores in spain about mp3 players
they refuse to order most of colors on color-range mp3 players
cause they claim they wont sell all colors.
so they pick up like 1 or 2 colors at most.

I then ask what about Ipod nano... guess what... They have all colors no problem

Is like either you get a Ipod or you stuck with Black colors
Well guess what I am fed up with Black colors....

If i get a Fuze+ i want a blue or red
since Red is only 4gb i probaly get the Blue 8gb
i would love to have blue or red 16Gb but they only have Black
I dont want another Black mp3 player

This is also so typhical here in spain everything has to be Black or grey
Colors... there was no colors in electronics before Ipod arrived.

Ipod you can have all colors and Gb you want
but other mp3 players you cannot

Please name a Mp3 player brand except Apple that are good pushing out lot of color players , i cant think of one.

And NO i dont want a Case i want the player in color

Sansa does release most of their players in 4-5 colors which is nice, Microsoft also released zunes in a nice array of colors.
