New I am now a sad panda.
I am torn between affordable OSX goodness and the fact that I *HATE* low-res "wide-screen" monitors. 1280x800? Yeah, the horizontal is good, but 800 is AWFUL.
When somebody asks you to trade your freedoms for security, it isn't your security they're talking about.

New That's the only difference I saw besides the case color
and it's just $50 to up the white to an 80 GB

New You're not supposed to be looking that closely. ;-)
The black version is probably supposed to be more appealing to potential business customers - thus Steve wants to charge them a bit more.

You're right in thinking that you're potentially paying a big premium for the color.

Cheers,
Scott.
(Who thinks that there might be a lot of people getting the white and painting it black.)
