It's a GREAT book. The idea of “Reflective Design” comes from Donald Norman and his wonderful book “Emotional Design”.

The iPod's design DOES generate conversation and buzz - because of its "reflective design," as you call it. Because you are in the design biz, would you tell me where that term comes from, and if there are other things out there written about it? As you've already noticed, I am very interested in the topic. I believe it has so much power in terms of selling products to women. Women often are not just buying for the cheapest price, so design can be an edge. As for the bathtub situation, Leah - point well taken! I'll keep mine very dry. Thanks for all the great comments!

Has any product been the subject of so many blog posts? I don't think so, and it's because the iPod is so darned interesting from a Reflective design point of view. That's why I like your blog, too. So many of the issues you write about have to do with Reflective design, and how marketers and designers should take a very consicous approach to Reflective design for offerings designed for women. Pink is probably the best Mini color, I reckon. The iPod. Has any product been the subject of so many blog posts?

As you know, I'm an iPod freak since I got mine - now spending more on iTunes than groceries. Fun stuff!! If I'd gotten a mini, it would have been pink, too. Welcome to the dark side, Andrea!

The only tiny bit of advice I have for you is don't be tempted to listen to it while you are in the bathtub. I did that, and as I reached out to change the song, I got a tiny drop of water on it and killed it. You can drop it a thousand times on the pavement, and it's fine, but get a drop of water anywhere near it and it's toast. Congratulations on your new purchase!
