Maybe it's because the chrome back just makes it looks awesome; almost retro. If you squint... While imagining a Clickwheel... You can almost see the past. Kind of.
I'm kind of glad the new touch didn't get any major updates aside from a color change and price drop.
So I guess that makes my "4th" gen iPod touch still current :)
