White or black?

[sjleworthy]

Black for me. The classic apple mobile colour. And a black leather smart cover.

Staying with black as photographs look better.
Thats why lightroom uses black and not white.

You know, I was thinking pretty seriously about getting a white one. But then...I realized that watching movies on a screen with a black bezel would probably be more comfortable than with the white, which is a good bet why the vast majority of TVs are also black. I think the white would be somewhat distracting from what you're trying to focus on in the screen. The black, in a way, almost makes it seem like you're peering through a dark opening rather than through the hole of a (rectangular) white life preserver ring. My point is, the image doesn't have to compete with the bright white bezel and thus it can stand out better.

well, i would like the black one but the white one is more intersting. but i worry about dirt showing up on the white one. so im not sure yet. although I will have the ipad in a cover most of the time. hmmmmmmmmmmmmm im still undecided.

Yeah, there's pros and cons for both the black and white colors. I'm changing my mind every day. I guess I'll have to decide come this Friday though. LOL

This being my 1st iPad, gotta be black.
White is just a little too flashy for me.

yup, what to choose? what a life eh?

i originally wanted white, with a white case, but i then considered the safe bet of black and black to be better - looks more traditional and less 'retro' and probably is more forgiving to dirt and scratches than the white version.

I am pretty excited about the white one.

The color is under the glass so it can't get dirty. I'm getting white.

Thats what i was thinking... my ipad is never dirty now because of the glass..

People said that earlier and I was thinking just that.

The glass is on top of the white, yes. However, I would assume that the reason for using a black, rather than a white device is not, that the white color itself gets dirty, but that a white background protrudes any dirt on the surface. And white does have this effect, regardless of whether there is a layer of glass in front of it, or not.

Dirt doesn't stick to glass very well......
