Someone in marketing must have thought that because the original white iPod was so successful they'd pull the same trick, probably going against advice from engineers - big fail there I think.
As for you taking offence at my tone, all I can say is that's your problem. I talk like this and if you want to read personal insults into it, tough.
I called you a fanboy as you seemed to have an issue with my critique for no other reason than my tone was "offensive". Well, again, tough. Grow a thicker skin.
As for the genius vs stupidity. lol You really have no idea.

Don't worry, my skin is quite thick. I'm not losing any sleep over your posts. Hey, if you don't want to be polite and respectful, then that's your choice. Actually, you don't bother me at all. However, I did notice that you were making others angry. I posted my response to you so that maybe you would understand why people were accusing you of trolling.
Ironically, I agree with some of your issues and think that you posting them is helpful. For example, glossy materials absolutely should not be used in devices that are used in the sun. Also, the Kindle 3 is designed much better than the nook. Consider though that the Kindle is on its third hardware design, and the nook its first. The original Kindle had a pretty funky design.
I'm really not trying to pick a fight with you. I agree with you more than I disagree.
