iPod shuffle
Billed as "the worldâs most wearable music player," the iPod shuffle is just half a cubic inch in volume, weighs just half an ounce, features an aluminum design with a built-in clip and comes in silver, red, and more vibrant shades of blue, green, and purple.
"At just $49, the iPod shuffle is the most affordable iPod ever,â said Greg Joswiak, Appleâs vice president of Worldwide iPod Product Marketing. "The 2GB model lets music lovers bring even more songs everywhere they go in the impossibly small iPod shuffle."
The new shuffles remain priced at $49 for the 1GB model and $69 for the 2GB model. The new vibrant color palette (top) compared to the pale color units that were announced earlier in the year.

The shuffle gets no keynote love from the Steve : (
120GB?
Methinks the 160GB drives are needed for MacBook Airs
WTF?! They REDUCED the capacity of the Classic?!?!?!?! Seriously p*ssed off.

Oh behave yourself. I take it you bought a 160GB one to contribute to the obviously poor sales of it?
Most people who bought a classic bought the 80GB. It's a good move.

wasn't the 160 just two 80 gb anyway?
This seems like the end (or near it) for both products, as they got anemic updates (shuffle especially ... no price drop or anything)
