Apple Drops iPod Shuffle Price to $49, Adds 2GB Model at $69

"At just $49, the iPod shuffle is the most affordable iPod ever," said Greg Joswiak, Apple's vice president of Worldwide iPod Product Marketing. "The new 2GB model lets music lovers bring even more songs everywhere they go in the impossibly small iPod shuffle."
The Shuffle is still available in the same colors: silver, blue, green, purple and red. The 2GB model won't be available until later this month.

That's what I was thinking.So where's the 2gig model? It's not on Apple's website.
Read the post "The 2GB model won't be available until later this month."
edit: Okay, not available until later this month, so what was the point of taking down the store if the lower shuffle price was already up prior to the take down?
$49 for 1GB? Pretty much a rip off these days....
i agree, i just bought 2 gigs minisd for $10 for a cell phone which i can easily control what songs i play (from a screen).
Yea the shuffles are small, but you have to carry a phone, you can have both in one package with better functionality with a $10 sd card.
MacBook Pros!!!!
Wasn't the original iPod Shuffle also $49? I bought one and I'm pretty sure that was the price.
the original shuffle was $99 for 512MB if i remember correctly, i think it came down though after a while!
