DISQUS

Interesting take on this new product.
The main difference with the MacBook Air I guess is that I could really see myself with one. Hell, if I had more money, I'd probably be writing this comment using one. But I really don't see myself using the new Shuffle. We (as in geeks, music fans, etc.) don't see ourself using the earbuds that come with the iPod. But we're not most people.
To sum it up, I think you're right. ;-)

Well, I had been offered an iPod Shuffle (I mean, the first one) a few years ago. It was a great experience : 512MB of good music, I just had to plug it to my car stereo and press play. It was nice to go anywhere and think "I have my favorite songs on it, I don't want to chose one, just shuffle it up."

I think the Shuffle is a precursor of iTunes Genius. Without the damn good algorithms, but still, click and get the music you want.

Oh I don't have any problem with the limited space nor the absence of screen. It's the lack of being able to choose your heaphones that bothers me the most…

Well, in that case, I read that an adaptor will be available soon.
