iPad 2: White or Black?

[ModeratorOMD]

I think the white one is more futuristic looking. Which do you think is more popular?

I don't think it's a matter of popular as much as it is personal preference. I like Black and therefore choose that over White.

I went with the black and if I had to do it over I would go with the black again.
IMO More professional looking.
Good Luck

I'm really torn between the two- I can't decide.

I wanted the white for aesthetic, it makes the iPad stand out. And it's more hands on- more personal, less smudgy.

But I'm concerned that technically, the white bezel would be distracting.

I think the perfect combination is a white iPad with a black case- You have the comfort of knowing you have a white one, but then also enjoy the classic professional black with the case.

mmmm white!

I bought white when the iPad 2 first came out, and while I loved it for a long time, I'm starting to wish I'd gotten black. The white is pretty, but it IS a little distracting.

I got the white iPad, since I have a black iPhone. The iPad I mainly use for non-video entertainment, so the bezel doesn't bother me. However I got the black phone for ease of case-matching and availability. Plus the boyfriend has the white four. Didn't want him to secretly switch me.

As a man, black is FAR more appealing to me. White seems kind of girlish.

White is the same color as loose leaf paper, so it kind of makes sense- seeing as iPads are supposed to replace paper.

Interesting analogy. But I can't see who's saying iPads are supposed to replace paper.

In my community, which is in South Carolina, schools have already initiated paperless. They've given iPads to all students.

[impaler]

Yeah and the federal government was supposed to go paperless jn 1996. I'm a federal employee and we use more paper now, because people just print everything.

The iPad won't replace paper.

I'm a medical worker, and we use the iPad a lot, but I think you still need paper. With it so much easier in school, and it really helps with job applications.

it is really doesnt matter....
but black !!!!

 

[ModeratorOMD]

White is actually the most popular one. That's the one that's always sold out.

We got one of each for our 3 and 4 year old daughters

Definitely Blackkkk.... White color deteriorated through times and the color will become off white (white yellow).

Black is stunning...

 

[spinecho]

Definitely black.

White looked nice, but the black, like the little black dress I can no longer wear, looked classy.
I went for black, I think by now I might be thinking ilovebarolo's thoughts too, if I hadn't.
Mind laelipoo has the best reason I've seen for focusing your choice!
