Aqua-Soft Forums[newsimg]http://www.aqua-soft.org/media/news/aa40fd069ccb51f19684b182ba5c766a.jpg[/newsimg]Apple today introduced a 2GB iPod shuffle while quietly slashing the price of the 1GB model to $49, dropping the price of the device while simultaneously offering more capacities. Both sizes are available in all colors; the 1GB model should be available immediately through the online Apple Store, while the 2GB model ships later this month. The change makes for "the most affordable iPod ever," according to Apple senior iPod marketing VP Greg Joswiak. The company has not yet provided its reasoning for the cut, though the price brings the device closer into competition with the SanDisk Sansa Clip and the ZEN Stone with Speaker, both of which dropped below the $50 price mark in earlier months for a similar amount of storage.
Apple introduces 2GB iPod Shuffle
Bah. The nano is a better choice. A screen, double the space.
The price might be enticing to others, though, especial those who want a basic mp3/audiobook player.

the size of the shuffle is excellent. its trendy and its great for people who want to "clip" something onto thier clothes and dont want a heavy screened ipod weighing in thier pocket.
i own a classic, but i see the purpose of a shuffle over a nano or classic or touch... its purpose is different.
the shuffle was so called, because u cant really choose the song that plays next. . . it was intended to be random i guess.
