Hey Sydasti, The New Shuffles are Out!

I think I will drill a hole through the clip and run a lanyard through it. The thing is so damn small I see myself losing it quickly unless I can leash it to things.
I can now see why they went without the standard mini USB connector. The whole thing is as thick as a USB connector, surface mounting the connector to the PCB would almost double the thickness of the unit.
Nah thats a standard USB connector in the mod photo connected to a laptop above. A mini USB connector is virtually the same thickness as a mini-jack only wider, here they are side by side on the blackberry:
The very thin razor phone has a mini USB connector too...
But they would need to put both a mini conector and a headphone jack on wich would surley make the player bigger, since it appears that smallness was the goal the dock is a reasonable compromise. Also there is the old theory of "more parts = more problems" For players that small, Apple or not, downloading music via headphone jack makes sense.
I just pick on up at WalMart for less than $79..
WalMart here has reorganized their store and now has a huge electronics section where iPods abound at good proces.
I have my eye on that titanium colored Nano for sub $200 too...

Walmart's prices aren't that good, local sales only (plus you have to pay sales tax):

MacMall is usually the cheapest, Apple has tight pricing control like narlus sez ($74 for shuffle, no sales tax and various super annoying rebate deals - crap transmitters, low-end case, chargers, engraving on some models, whatever):

i've never had a hard time returing broken items to WalMart either.
IPod Report:
Since buying a new iPod Shuffle my Common Access Card reader on my workstaion has died. I had to get IT send me new one.
I haven't even taken the Shuffle out of the packaging yet either.
I am very disappointed that syandnanci might be right!!!!

Yet another reason for Sydnasti and all proper humans to hate apple.

Sidandnancy would hate Apple no matter how many products of theirs he'd buy and use extensively. Hundreds even.
Is that a real pic or some eerie wax museum thing?Your framed photo of Condi Rice on your desk prolly has more to do with it than the Shuffle.
