members.shaw.ca — Apple should have the option of enabling a black UI to go with the black iPod nano and the new iPod 5G, which comes out wednesday. Check out this cool concept for a black-iPod-friendly UI that doesn't clash as much with the body color of the iPod.

I'm not that big of a fan of the nano, as I see it as a waste of money, but that's just sexy.

Black is Beautiful. Period.

@dolphumousActually, the entire screen is backlit. There are not little leds for each pixel. The black areas are backlit, too. It's just that there are LCD blocking the light.

Awesome looking! I would actually buy a black one if it had this interface. And this interface could actually be done if it was to use OLED instead of LCD. With LCD the background wouldn't be very black, more of a dark gray, which would just look bad. The deep black that is shown in this image is not currently possible in current lcd technology while still maintaining the bright white text, but it is possible with current OLED screens.

"little known fact that white lcd pixels use the least power since they are actually off (so the backlight shines through). Any color uses power, with black consuming the most. With color lcds, the blacklight is on all the time. You can increase laptop battery life with a pure white wallpaper/desktop."@chazi - You're mistaken about laptop screens. White is created by turning on red, green, and blue pixels in conjunction. Black is the absence of these lights. When you power off your screen, it goes black, not white.

Black ear buds would be nice. I could worry less about getting jacked on the subway.

solution for not getting jacked - buy diffrent headphones.
