> New iPod Shuffle Announced!
Bookmark topic
It's plug 'n' play in so much as it just plugs straight in to a USB port. No drivers etc. needed.
But you use iTunes to sync/manage your music as the new iTunes has new features especially for iPod shuffle:
http://www.apple.com/ipodshuffle/shuffle.html
iTunes automatically fills it with your best/favourite tunes, or from a pre-chosen Playlist. Also in iTunes you set the amount of space allocated to data/music.
iTunes is by far the best music player/manager anyway!

It's already been rumoured that they will... but I guess it won't be until the cost of Flash memory comes down even more...
At current prices, a 2GB model would probably be priced about the same as an iPod mini, which has twice as much storage (4GB). So I guess most people would choose an iPod mini instead... especially as it also has a screen, click wheel etc.
512mb iPod shuffle = $99
1GB iPod shuffle = $149
1.5GB iPod shuffle = $199 (possibly?)
2GB iPod shuffle = $249 (possibly?)
4GB iPod mini = $249

i dont really understand why anyone would buy that thing.
it hasnt got a screen, only 240 song
i could get a cheaper 1gig MS and put it into my p900 (yes i no i would have to put a p910 fw on it) and use it in my fone AND have a screen
i mean goin from a blue screen to a color screen then to NO screen is crazy, even something small.
im not having a go at apple, i love most of the product and designe and even own a ipod photo,

The people who would buy it are the people who can't afford $249 for the cheapest HD-based iPod...
And I guess some people are satisfied with just 240 songs...

I'm sorry, but I've always considered Apple to be pretty good when it comes to advancing technology, but, is this progression or just plain regression...... With the deals on Amazon for normal iPods, I'd just stick with the normal iPod.
