I haven't seen the silver one in real life, but i've seen the black-- and it's okay. i also dont have the time to go to the store and compare them-- so i need your guy's opinions.
here's a picture of them:

is it an accurate representation of how they look in real life/normal lighting?
thanks!
. strangely enough, of the new generation of ipods (touches, 3rd nano, classic), ive seen very few classics. but yeah, thats how it would look like. the silver version is a slightly grey-er version of the ipod video's white and the black is...well...black. lol. personally, i dont really like the new silver; white was better in their previous colour schemes. black seems like it has more contrast with the screen. but again, its the buyer's preference
