iPod Shuffle Out of Stock

They're all out.

Did Apple underestimate the number of shuffles in anticipation of clearing out stock for new shuffles to arrive at MWSF 06? I'd say. Smaller, lighter shuffles to debut in new colors, including black.

Stocks of shuffles and iPod nanos are all constrained. Maybe Apple should not have discontinued the minis so prematurely as some units are fetching $350 or more on eBay.

Wow, couple that with the 2 week estimated ship on 4GB Nanos and it looks like Apple has been doing pretty well this holiday season.

This reminds me of the iMac G4 fiasco. Apple expects the nano to lower shuffle sales, but it doesn't.

I think this proves that a new shuffle comes at MWSF.

Yeah, maybe. They figure people will want to get their hands on the new stuff (either a new shuffle or something else).

Say it with me now-New Shuffles next Tuesday! Black & White, more capacity, etc. Which also means-more capacity for Nanos!!!! Who's with me?

Several readers report that the 1GB iPod shuffle is out of stock for the holidays at Apple's online store:

I don't actually think Apple is trying to make anymore..

New shuffles in January. That's the only plausible cause for this message.

Really good point. It would have been nice to see the iPod mini phased out instead of dropped, especially since the mini had a higher storage capacity. It's still nice to see robust sales for Apple's products. :)

...and I was supposed to be getting one for Christmas

oh well, perhaps I'll get a better one in the New Year then...

I'd buy a silver mini over a nano any day.

Count me in! :D Higher capacity Nanos would be really nice, especially since the mini had more space. I'd get a Nano right now, if it had 6 or 8 gigs of space. As soon as it does, I'm there. :cool:
