http://www.apple.com/ipodshuffle/ No screen, 1GB. Completely random song picks. A bit overpriced at $100, IMO. I know someone with a $50 MP3 player that has more features, including shuffle. Not much else to say about this device... I wonder if this ever will make it off the shelf. I'm quite happy with my 20GB iPod that has an optional shuffle feature. |

I wouldn't use it, because I kind of hate shuffle. It's interesting though, because the $99 version has 512MB, and a lot of $149 players just have 256MB (the $149 version of the Shuffle has a whole GB). There's a way to go through them in order, too. There's a switch at the back that has three modes, Off, Shuffle and Playlist Order. |

That's a user, not a product. Anyway, not being able to see what I'm listening to == bad. |

Frankly, I think it's a good idea, and good competition to all the cheaper flash based MP3 players out there. As for not being able to see what's being played -- I don't think it'd really worry me. I don't mind not knowing what's going next, and besides, if you don't like a song, you can always just click "next"... |

I don't know, if your willing to shell out $100 for an iPod like that you might as well as save up for something much better. | |||

Considering that on my way to get lunch today, I heard 256Mb stuff advertised for the same price (on sale!) I actually don't think it's a bad price at all either. It'd be a good thing for something like my Mum. Course, I wouldn't suggest it for somebody who's real serious about their music.... get a real iPod if you are. |

I'd prefer to CHOOSE when I want it mixed up, thank you very much And I don't own an Ipod, and probably won't, just for added... um... I got nothing. |

Facts are just inconveniences. And this will sell like cold cakes. |

So in the end this is the "super budget but not really budget priced iPod" right? I'll... um... wait to eventually buy a real one when the price is good enough. That'll likely be when the next generation of players comes out, of course. |

Yet another question.... When will iPodLinux be ported to the iPod shuffle? I'm just kidding, of course. |

Originally posted by ColleenIt -is- budget priced. Most flash players below $99 are guaranteed to be more useful as USB HDs than as music players, and in fact a lot of USB stick HD makers just put music playing in as a freebie because the OEM maker's cost is negligible. Apple probably saved a dozen by opting for no display at all. I would have bought this though: http://members.shaw.ca/ventro2/nano_large.jpg. (edited by Jesper on 01-12-05 12:33 PM) |

I would probably get that, just because it looks pretty good | |||

I rather get a iPod right away anyway, if I would get a portable media player. Heh, funny how the main selling point have been around like forever. Thought that's a common company trick. Nano looks like an electrical tootbrush and iPod shuffle like a thermoter that you insert into your butt. ...and i'm planning to buy a iPod for my sister anyway. |

Wow, what a piece of crap. My $100 MP3 CD player has shuffle too (even though the manual says it doesn't work for MP3s ), as well as simple playlist support, multiple levels of bass boost, a really cool option that makes voices sound more realistic, auto-shutoff when not playing, and a remote that clips onto your shirt or whatever. Plus of course it plays CDs, and for MP3s you get 700MB per disc, and they're only like 2 bucks each. And come on, we're all thinking it... The Nano looks like a dildo. Actually, that's not a bad idea. iDildo, vibrates to the beat. |

I was thinking in terms of HD space to cost actually. I know that the lowest ones in terms of HD space aren't $20 or anything, but it just seems like such an odd scale. |
