I totally forgot that Macworld San Francisco was this week. I just read on Ars that Apple announced the iPod Shuffle, among other things. Of course I was curious about it, so I went to Apple’s site to find out more. This thing is a beautiful piece of work.
When I first bought my iPod, I thought for sure that there was no way I could go to a flash-based player now that I have my god of MP3 players. The Shuffle is something that just might make me change my mind. At $99 for the 512MB model and $149 for the 1GB model, I’m almost tempted to get one to supplement my 40GB 3G iPod. By supplement, I mean that I’d use my Shuffle for a quick audio fix, meanwhile still using the 40GB for the majority of my filed library and an external hard drive.
We’ll have to see how the mortgage, credit cards, and other things play out. After all, I just bought Chris a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P100 digital camera for Christmas.
