Pink iPods, Nike+iPod pics

In brief: Target is offering pink video iPods and iPod nanos, described as the "ColorWare Pink Edition...." Nike and Apple today launched the Nike+iPod Sport Kit, with one attendee offering photos of a launch event.... Apple will replace Yoshiaki Sakito -- the company's former vice president of marketing in Japan -- with Phil Schiller, as Sakito pursues plans to start his own venture business.... Rumors are flying that Apple will utilize OLED rather than TFT displays in its next generation of small portable players, namely its iPod nano or iPod shuffle.... Automated Workflows today released a new Mac OS X Introduction to AppleScript training CD, entitled AppleScript 2006.

This isn't new at all. Colorware has existed for quite a while (colorwarepc.com). Anyone can customize just about anything through these guys. The whole thing looks pretty cool, BUT you have to wonder that since ordering items through these guys voids the apple warranty (replacing it with their own), what type of notice is being given to the Target consumers.

Of course it is new that a major retail channels begins to sell iPods in a different color. This is not done without Apple agreeing to it. The question is why Apple does not color the iPods themselves for Target instead of letting Colorware make money on it. I think it is cool and about time that the iPods get colors.
