Flash iPod: 'Life is Random'?
Macitynet.it claims it has some early photos from the setup at MacWorld Expo. The depicted sign reportedly showed images of the upcoming flash iPod with the slogan: "Life is random"
Only one day left.
We cannot show the images of the new iPod because we were forced to delete them from our cameras, but we can describe it. It is without any screen (that's maybe because the slogan is "Life is random!"), small, with a shape more vertical than the other iPod. The color is white, and it seems like a small remote control that fits confortably in a single hand.
Only one day left.

So this thing could have 1GB of space, but no screen to navigate it? That kind of sucks.

This is highly interesting! I wonder how Apple tends to explain this random thing, that is, how will random be a selling feature :)
To Arn: How about some credit for the link please? I need some bragging rights :)

Is this implying that the mp3 player will be set to "shuffle" always and the user has no say in what songs come up?
I guess thats an interesting take on things and could be fine for exercising, but I can imagine alot of people not getting it.

how are you supposed to navigate the iPod without a screen? Is it voice activated?

What if there is a very small screen on the remote, inline with the headphone cord maybe?

I'm still a little skeptical of a player without an screen, but if any one can pull it off, Apple would be the most likely to be able to do. So we'll wait and see.
Besides, I can't say that I would be likelyto buy one . . . not enough storage.

1GB would be a lot to navigate through. 512MB would be a nice size for a 'random music player' in my opinion. I have an iTunes playlist that I like listening to with a wide variety of about 100 songs which takes up approximately 450MB. This kind of player would be great to take snowboarding or biking rather than my iPod which tends to not like the cold and big hits.

Yeah, Life is Random, just not that Random.
Why would anyone want to skip tracks because they had no control over what was coming next.
Perhaps there are like a dozen presets for playlists that you set up from your computer.
