iPod shuffle: Apple introduces iPod shuffle, its flash based player. Its maller than most packs of gum and weighs the same as 4 quarters (less than 1 ounce). iPod shuffle features volume up/down controls, a simple LED to provide feedback, but no display. The player offers both shuffle or album-based playback. It uses a USB 2.0 transfer connector at its base to interface with computers and sports12-hour rechargeable battery. Available for both Mac and PC. iPod shuffle ships with a lanyard that connects directly to bottom connector for easy carrying. Jobs shows new Apple commercial for iPod shuffle.

But I wish there was an upgrade model, say at $149USD, that had Bluetooth headphones. Wires are the bane of working out or running with music.

I've never seen the Apple Store website so hosed. This is nuts.

very neat, but shouldn't there be more ins?

I'm done reading about bitching. Slashdot, engadget and now ILX too. Do you people not notice what the retail price is? Go buy a fucking iMac G5, they've been out for months.

That box will do, mail, word processing, web, a wide spectrum of games (not 3d heavy obv), low end movie editing, compressing, watching, mid range photo editing, music making, and all sorts of other things admirably well. This is going to make a great (and great value) first or second computer for loads of people.

it is under rammed with RAM but then all Macs are and they'd be more expensive if they weren't. That's what crucial.com is for.

teeny, wouldn't you get more usb ins with the keyboard?

...and you can daisy chain firewire
