I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere yet, but does choice of color have anything to do with where these products are manufactured? :-)

I think a lot of people are missing how big this may be. Oprah is the biggest marketing machine not only on TV but well beyond. When she shows up wearing something and mentioning it on her show it's almost a lock for exploding sales. It's sorta like the way every book she mentioned on her book club caused instant best seller status. I don't watch her show but a lot of wall street types do just to monitor these things.

That is true but it also is more about her talking about relatively unknown authors or products so in relative terms they take off. As for Ipod I doubt it will excite or inspire too many people to go out and buy an Ipod.

BTW her movie productions have lost tons of money, so she isn't midas. But it certainly won't hurt.

Oprah's popular because the masses are a bunch of sheep but I don't see how her involvement will make more people buy a red iPod. I'd rather contribute directly to the cause than to go out and buy a red iPod. Black is my color.
