The Brits also like the silver iPod mini, but not the gold one, according to an Amazon.com poll published by Shiny Shiny.
A survey of iPod mini pre-orders at Amazon revealed the following color preferences, Shiny Shiny sez:
Silver 41 percent
Pink 26 percent
Blue 24 percent
Green 7 percent
Gold 2 percent
(See below for the equivalent Japanese numbers. Unfortunately, no link to the original Amazon data is provided by Shiny Shiny, and I can't be bothered to find it).
