The iPod Shuffle footnotes clearly state:

(2) Do not eat the iPod Shuffle.

So I guess its not edible. *sigh* My hopes and dreams of an edible iPod have once again been dashed.

Maybe next year, folks... maybe next year.

I'm getting 3 of them...

1GB for me, 1GB for my gf, and 1 512MB for my sister.

No screen is a small price to pay for that size and price in an iPod.

The fact that it can also be used as a flash-drive with controllable "partitionning" is AWESOME!!!

Why no Asteroid or 5GB iPod mini?????

$199? Where did that come from? According to the Apple store the 1 GB iPod Shuffle is going for $149.

Anyway my birthday is Friday and I have been holding out on the iPod. It looks like I will be heading down to the Grove in LA to pick one up. Oh and the student discount makes it $139 which isn't bad. I am not too worried about the lack of a screen since I will be listening to music and not watching it.

Nice job Apple........

I think you are right, $149.


I might buy one for the gym even though I have a 4th gen already.

LOL I caught that too! I got a good chuckle out of that.

Personally I think I will be picking one of these up...Maybe then I will start doign some much needed jogging. One of the reasons I don't do any working out is because I need some music! Never wanted to take my 3G out for a run as I don't want to mess it up...Here is my solution!

Would have liked at least a one line lcd or something as was mentioned...but I'll take it! Good job Apple!!

Darn. No Edu discount on the iPod shuffle.

Was hoping to knock it down to about $89 :D

Looks fantastic. I'll be getting one. It'll be great for short trips, I'll use my 20gb one for long trips. It's a great one two punch. :)
