$100. Are you kidding me? It is not worth the risk. I mean all iPods have Pins in them so if you ever take it into an Apple Store and it has been reported stolen you get to go to jail. For what? $100. I mean at least the iPod, even though double the size, costs about 4-5 times more. Putting it in the range of faux gold per ounze instead of like copper ont he shuffle.
I like the nifty little USB feature. I liked it when I saw it the first time on an Archos. Yet, I can't stop liking it, because Apple copied it. I think this thing will sell beautifully. I have a friend who actually paid $350 for a new iPod 20 GB and he doesn't have more than 400 MB on it. Now if the shuffle is not for him what is.
I think the next thing will be something half that price with room like the old MP3 players. 16 and ohh 32 MB. Yet, Apple will market it for being able to still fit hundreds of songs in it due to amazing AAC encoding. Hence, MP3 of 5 years ago. Well, hopefully if they use the money there are getting from the iPods for a good thing such as their amazing computer, then maybe it is good that stupid rich people buy something they will never use.
