At the start, any new merchandise might fail...so why place product out that might not sell?
Keep it basic.
Besides, Apple tried to market a variety of colored laptops and desktop computers back in the late 1990's.
The biggest sellers were still the plain (black, white and silver) models.
However, the iPod has really taken off and Apple can probably afford to put out more color variety of product without losing their shirt in the deal.

they didn't make colored ones in the beginning because they were just starting the product and it would cost a lot of extra MONEY to make a color product if you are not sure how well it will sell. they started because people like to have colors on their electronics. colors also attract more people to buy it, for example if there is a an iPod they want in blue. it's all about MONEY MONEY MONEY.

is just part of marketing stragtery, first you need have your product branch out, and need it to be solid. Having variety in the begining won't do, as they just stick with one color theme that tags along with their technology. It'll strike everyone when everyone see a WHITE IPOD's commerical everywhere.
After their product is safely introduce to the market, they will lure in other folks that have no buy ipod but whom doesn't want to be "late" on the technology, so they introduced color ones to capture the left over fish. Heck maybe ppl that brought the white ones want to buy color one also.

because it doesnt pay to put all your lame ideas in one product when people will buy another ipod all together for the simple reason that they want to be trendy
