Also, just for supply reasons alone, a single color might be the initial offering only. I am sure that they are looking at iPod mini sales to determine which colors to offer.

However, this is because they just looked too plasticy. The ipod minis however have such a smoother look with the color and the metal. the imac colors I thought were cheesy looking.

Heck, why stop at colors, make cases with different shapes. Mini cases could be like desktop equivalents of "art cars" or car body kits ("I like my Mini but it really needs a spoiler"). Anything that changed the thermal characteristics could void the warranty though. Of course people like to <a href="http://cif.rochester.edu/pumpkin/">put computers inside other things</a> anyway, they don't need to buy anything :) When the Mini was introduced, I thought it could have been a bit bigger w/ a desktop hard drive and still be just as cheap & cool. Maybe somone could make a "doublewide" casemod to accomodate internal additions like a second hard drive. I'm amazed by this week's announcement of a <a href="http://www.macworld.com/news/2005/01/20/giga/index.php">dual processor upgrade for the Cube</a> so a Mini doublewide casemod doesn't seem too crazy.

Like the iBook skins, but better. Say someone reverse engineers the Mini's cover and starts offering other covers/designs. Doesn't really sound hard to do. Sure it's not covered under warranty, but I think you'd see more variety if things went that way. I think I'd rather see custom colors as an aftermarket item. Like the iBook skins, but better.
