It's all about establishment and marketing. The iPod Nano is a *new thing* and therefore wasn't pigeonholed into what people thought it should be. The iPod video, however, is more like the original one... the super stereotypical white iPod. People see something desirable, and think "ooh, I want that," and then associate the attributes of that product together in their mind. The white iPod has five years of product penetration behind it. The iPod nano, albeit a namesake, doesn't have that kind of recognition.

And I haven't seen any black iPod Video ads... but I have seen black iPod nano ads. But that's just me, and I live out in the boondocks so I only see the big billboards when I go into Chi-town.
