I agree but if the look of squeak would be better (cf like the henrik  
one for example) then we will be cooler
and smarter suddenly. Look at the web site and compare to the old  
one. Same here, so if squeak
wants to attract people the look is important.

Look is important. Nobody would buy a bad looking iPod with a crappy  
interface at that price :)
