It is a shame they didn't up the memroy storage on this device. Looks like Apple is milking the product with a color chnge. Sort of like a street walker dyeing her hair to get a little more life out of the chassie.

what happened to 2GB???

the entire new iPod line up is awesome, except two things

1. 2GB iPod Shuffle
2. 16 GB iPhone $499

I have mixed feelings about this update since I've been thinking of getting a Shuffle for a while. I like the colors but I also liked the previous colors. I think I'll be the only one mad that they didn't get to buy the orange shuffle.

I just wish the Project (RED) model had come out earlier.

I bought a 2G Shuffle just about a month ago, would've gotten the red one had it been out. And its a good cause too, even though I find Bono and Oprah to be annoying in anything other than very small amounts.

I think I'll take my nano in red. The other colours don't interest me.
OTOH it's about time they made a purple iPod. My wife has been waiting years for one.

They need to drop the price 10 bucks on these imo.
Or up them to 2gb and while they're at it drop "sage" bring orange back and make an orange nano damnit!

Agreed - the Shuffle was a big snoozefest at yesterday's conference. So many other vendors have same size, same price point players with 2GB of memory. Cool as it is, the Shuffle is now behind other company's offerings - a bit unusual for Apple.

btw - if you dash out now, you could probably still find Orange shuffles at BB or on line somewhere... Actually, since it's the same price and size, I would be surprised if Apple stores don't just hang on to and sell off the 'old' colors...
