I was ready to order the Shuffle as well and then I thought, why?, when I can get the 20GB one and not have to keep adding and deleting songs like on the shuffle. I think that's why they came out with it, to see how it's best to get an upgrade and they get you to spend more money than you anticipated. It's a conspiracy I tell ya!
i got the sony nwe99 (1gb) and ran out of room already! only the size of a matchbook. i didn't like what the shuffle had for features EXCEPT for the controls taking straight from the ipod. all along, i thought you had a green mini.....?
I have had a ipod for about two years now and I still love it. Now you just need to get something to you can listen to it in your car. I would recommned the tape thing if you have a tape player. It sounds much better than the am/fm tuner.
I didn't already have an iPod. The advantage of the shuffle is that is it SOOO small! It is the size of a pack of gum. And if I dropped it and broke it I wouldn't feel sick about it. I might still get an iPod mini or regular iPod in the future... in which case the shuffle won't go to waste. It is still useful when you want something small OR as Aaron is hoping... it will go to him.
My ipod is supposed to come in the mail tomorrow!!!!! I was first attracted to the shuffle, then the mini, then realized I needed the 20 GB baby because: 1. 8 hours of work a day needs lots of music. Plus I already have over 10 GB of tunage. 2. I can get a skin for the ipod so it's a cute color like the mini 3. The size of it still fits in my purse, anyway...
So apple sucked me in on that one... I agree, very clever marketing ploy they do have..
It's here! 
I'd love to know what you think about it after you get to play with it. I've been debating one myself.
ReplyDeleteHappy day! I love the Shuffle and it's perfect for taking just about everywhere. I was amazed how light it is when I first picked it up. Have fun!
ReplyDeletewhy not the pink (or green) mini? so much more space at only $100 more!

ReplyDeletesooo jealous! This on the top of my "things I want but can't justify" list.
ReplyDeletewhich size suffle did you get?
ReplyDeleteIt's really cute! I am debating getting one as my 2nd iPod--my regular one is too bulky for running and I'm too paranoid about losing it.
ReplyDeleteLJC - you should TOTALLY go for the regular iPOD or mini - look at what I got to go with my mini!

Nice work! I just got a 512mb Shuffle lastnight, too. I'm with you on the size thing, and less freaking out if it gets lost or broken. :)
ReplyDeleteafter years of debating, eh? i thought the iPod Shuffle just came out. :) just teasing you… enjoy your new toy!
ReplyDeleteIt a good choice if size and price matter. But it has no LCD, I want control of my songs dammit!
ReplyDeleteMy friend works for Apple and told me that every Apple employee was given a Shuffle.
ReplyDeleteI just picked two up yesterday at Target! After I decided to get them - I couldn't wait for them to ship!!
