Man, check out the new Apple iPod Shuffle. It is smaller than a pack of gum and weighs less than 4 quarters. (For reference, 5 quarters equals 1 ounce – it’s how you can quicly calibrate a scale.) It is small and sweet. It only holds 240 songs, but look at how tiny it is! And with a smaller pricetag than the iPod at $99. Man, that is seriously cool… [via Julie, who kept me updated on the MacWorld keynote via IM.]

Very spiffy… prettier than my MuVo.
It’s so TINY and cute, but I think I’ll stick with my regular-sized iPod.
I’m thinking about getting one, I just need to choose my 240 songs wisely. 🙂
Christine-I haven’t heard from you about upgrading my blog. Please email me back
well, the $99.99 is only the 512 MB and it can only hold 120 songs. the 1GB shuffle is $149.99 and it can hold up to 240 songs. the mini is 4GB and $249.99. you can quadruple the space for only $100.00 more.
honestly, i never felt the need to have one. i don’t know why. i can listen to the same CD on repeat (which is normally what i do when i do long driving but i didn’t want to bore you with listening to the same song or make your ears bleed with my singing.) LOL
i’m in love!
I’ve not been wanting to dish out the money for a regular iPod. This is perfect for me. Besides, I think I’d have a hard time filling a regular one up.
Alot of people were dissapointed with the mini iPod’s pricing so I think this is wonderful, they got it right this time. I think all of this is really reasonably priced.
Kathy, if I used one it would be for something like walking, exercising, etc – when a CD wouldn’t be an option. Plus I have a lot of stuff in mp3 format that I don’t have on CD – I rarely if ever buy CDs. Mike uses his all the time to listen to podcasts and stuff like that – so for him, it’s not about music.
I won’t be buying one – I don’t really need one – but come on … it’s so darn CUTE!
Aw, what a cute iPod! My husband just got a (slightly bigger) one for Christmas, and it IS pretty cool, but I’m just not sure I’d use it if I had one myself.
I so want this! If I didn’t already have an ipod i’d get this. So cool! Perfect for the gym, which is what I use mine for 99% of the time since I can’t get it to work in the car.
Not only is the shuffle awesome but have you seen the Mini Mac too?
*drool*

It looks really sweet. I’ll probably add this to my apple collection. I have the 10g and it’s full…this would be a great to carry to the gym.
