ONG how small! 8)

[black_magician]

8.4 mm's thick!?

I know I'd end up breaking it.

[DeMoN]

wow that thing is small! Good thing I dont like to hassle uploading mp3's to devices to later on get tired of them and delete. I rather burn a CD with few songs and get tired of them 18 at a time then shift to radio. Mp3 players just dont do it for me.

[deth]

isnt it just a flash drive that can play mp3s?

[Sachmo12345]

your problem Demon with mp3 players can be solved with an ipod because you then can have all of your music in your pocket, for me having 4500 songs in my pocket is great

i think the link just died....

[SilviaEvo]

^^just go to the website its on the frontpage. btw demon what you do is exactly what i do! :P

[enigmatic]

new link is http://www.apple.com/ipodshuffle/
that thing is tiny! bit of a compromise having up to 1gb and no screen though (from what i can see?)
nonetheless - very cool. looks to be well priced, too!

[ikon2003]

hm, yeah, that thing is tiny. just read bout it in newsweek. flash drive, $99 USD, size of a packet of gum roughly. two downsides (cuz of cost cutting) - no scroll wheel, no screen. this along w/ the new $500 mac is an effort by apple to cut into the lower end of consumer electronics, and try and extend its marketshare.

personally, never been a mac fan, never caught onto the ipod craze, and these two additions don't sway me.

im rely looking fwoard to buying one personaly, for some reason it rely apeals to me. maybee im just caught up in the hype :?

i don't know how they do it!

Yeah, I am cool about no screen. Kind of hard to sort through 240 songs.

Nifty idea though.
