Apple released the Ipod shuffle today, the slogan is

'life is random' The new Ipod is the size of a pack of trident gum. It comes in 512mb ($99) and 1G ($149) The Ipod shuffle has no screen and is on automatic shuffle, giving you no control of the songs

 
it is meant for people who already HAVE an ipod, like the itunes interface (may buy music from it already too) and it's much easier to carry this little bastard around when jogging or going to the gym. Two scenarios where you would rarely look at the screen.

and it's under an ounce!!!

Why would they bother making a remote for something so small? The remote would be the same size. This thing is perfect for what it does, it's not supposed to be an iPod alternative.

ok ok, all im oging to say is that i know apple could have made it the same size, and added a screen and maybe sell it for $10 more. y didnt they, becuase they make sacrifices to 'be different'. Steve Jobs himself said that they made it easyer, by eliminating a cumbersome screen and navigation.....by giving you no screen or navigation....

i think its brilliant

apparently, apple stores have been selling out across the country

so much for a flop assholes.

apple is trying to break broaden the ipods appeal. a recent study showed that people that buy iPods are starting to buy apple computers and other apple products. no only did the ipod shuffle recently come out but so did iLife '05 and Mac mini. the Mac mini is ridiculously cool. click here to see the mac mini

who wants to buy a ipod for $300 + when you got this for $99. Its straight.... besides whos gonna listen to 5,000 + songs?

 
I think its dope, but i alreayd have an ipod, i am almost thinkin of getting that little one too cuz it is soo cheap and i wouln't have to care about it soo much.....also the MAC MINI is soo dope, i wihs i had one,,, so portable and sutff...umm......i have an emac......and yea fuck....

HÉLmµT- HiGh SNow!
 
does anyone here eaven realize that you dont have to play it in shuffle mode? you can put it on normal mode and use the forward and back buttom to go through the songs in order. besides why would you need a screen with only 512 or 1 gig of music. a screen would be one more thing to possibly break/take up more battery power. its also flash memory so it never skips or fucks up the hard drive if if gets jolted (not that ive ever heard anyone with skipping problem on thier ipod)

I agree, these things are dope. Ipods are just too expensive right now,

These things are so lightweight. They also just have a regular headphone jack so u can use better headphones.

Shuffle is so much more affordable.

If you don't liek go buy a reall ipod, or stop living in fads and go get some dell or sony shit. I have always been behind apple, since i have always had macs....and i was always made fun of by all my friends, but we see who's laughing now hahahaahh!

I think it's a wonderful idea, and on the apple.ca website (they may have this for american universities too) students get an education discount, I can but it for 178$ Cdn with free shipping. buying one tomorrow.

their alright... but there are better products from other companies that work better for the same price.. the only logical reason to buy this is because of the brand name.. which to me is illogical

apple design in simplicity is great, and that iPod shuffle is really just to have a playlist from your iPod or iTunes thing, its not supposed to be an alternative to everything out there... plus its easier ti carry around, to conceal and stuff... i'd buy one...

179 canadian for the 1 gig, mine is ordered and coming to me in less than 2 weeks.

It's not a bad idea. Think about it for a second. All those other piece of shit flash players cost 2-3 times as much per meg of storage, and the screens are so tiny that they're essentially useless, other than draining the battery. The iPod Shuffle is simple, and can hold way more songs than anything comparable price wise. Plus, it'll work better in sporting environments than a regular hard drive iPod, and if you do break it and it can't be warrantied, it's less of a financial hit than either a mini or regular.

The idea behind the iPod Shuffle isn't to drop a bomb on the part of the market Apple already owns with the iPod harddrive models, but rather to gain a strong share of the significant other part of the MP3 player market, that being the flash-based players. By the looks of it, they're going to succeed.

Bahahaha... or, you could call it the 'elitist snob' cult. Anyways, my family already owns a country club, so no thanks.

i liked the 'do not eat ipod shuffle' . that made my day

Pirate steeze, arrrr!
 
i would probably get it if there was a screen telling you like what number your song was and stuff like that so you woud have to just guess where your songs were or listen to like the first 3 seconds of each one untill you find the one u want

drop clifs not bombs
 
^ well, you could just put them in there by alphabetical order....

Hahaha, wait.. allow me to understand this... you CAN'T chose the song you want to listen to?

This seems like a rather useless device. Another fad created by apple.

Sorry, after a little research, i take that back. You can indeed manually shift songs. Although other devices of similar size and pricepoint ovver screens and menu control.

dude you can switch it off of shuffle mode and you can just click through the playlist you make up. theres just no screen so listen. 100 bucks is so good though if you dont have the 300 for a 20 gb one.

-sean
 
so how many songs fit on it?

and why do they advertise only the shuffling part when u can just let it play in order? thats so much more logical

i am picking one up one and the 240 songs is based on 4 minute songs so ya it can be more or less and 1 gig on music is like 12 hours so that is enough for a day of skiing and then sell a extra battery pack that is another 20 hours of battery that is only 25 bucks and takes aaa batteries so it is sick

 
dude, the mini is gettin pretty cheap. you can pick them up on ebay for a pretty good price, even new. and i guarantee you will like one of those more than the ipod shuffle. believe me, i've got a 20gb and my friend has a shuffle, and even if the memory size wasn't a factor i would still never ever trade for a shuffle. they are just pretty lame, not having a screen is a huge drawback

that's funny, because i have had mine for two years and it still works as well as the day i got it. did you ever think that maybe you shouldn't believe everything you hear. of course, when a company mass produces a product like this there are going to be some that are faulty, but the vast majority are not. the reason you guys hear all the crap about them not working is because only the people who got the shitty ones are motivated to talk shit on the internet about them. there are far fewer people who will make the effort to talk up the product that did everything it was supposed to.

^^^ very true..i have a 15GB 3rd gen from 2 years ago and the battery still lasts 8+ hours..any company is going to have a few bad apples out there, i'm sure the creative mp3 players as well as any others have battery problems, they're just shittier so not as many people care to bitch about them when they dont work, i guess you could say its expected
