Smaller iPod shuffle?
An American Technology Research analyst claims that they have heard that Apple may be working on an even smaller form factor for the iPod shuffle as well as a introduction of a choice of colors.
The price points and storage capacity, however, are expected to remain at $99/$129 and 512MB/1GB in order to minimize overlap with their recently introduced iPod nano.
Apple recently added a "black" option for the 5th Generation iPod, and previously offered iPod minis in a choice of 5 colors.
Whether or not this is simply rehashing of this Page 2 rumor is unknown.

The shuffle had colors? Would this not be an introduction of colors to the Shuffle line? Anyways, I hope if we see anything besides black (which would be sweet on its own), that the colors are bright iMac style colors and not pastel Mini style colors.

Wouldn't 1gb(99$) and 2gb(150-200$) be better? It may overlap with the nano, but smaller form factor would bring the price up.

Maybe this is the long-awaited ipod flea?

It is hard to improve on the Shuffle. When you do so well with only a few things available to do well, it will be interesting to see how they attempt to improve the Shuffle.
I like my 512MB Shuffle all the same. Rev. A and no problems, hoo ya!:p :D

This sounds pretty cool. There are lots of flash based mp3 players that are smaller than the shuffle at the same memory / price points.
Cut the size in half or more, and it's a necklace. I'm also all for colors.

I don't know how much smaller I would want it. If it gets too small it would just be easier to loose.

Well, I've always wanted a smaller iPod shuffle since my initial reaction to the first one was a little disappointed, especially with the height of it. The new shuffle hopefully 30% shorter, rounder, and more sweat-proof.
