 [windstruck.] confessions of a neurotic spendthrift. I got my ip...: Not exactly an ipod, it's actually ipod's poorer cousin, ipod shuffle. Can't afford an ipod so this will do. =) But I lyk it, it's so cute...kinda resembles a chewing gum. So I'm terribly broke now...=( Great Singapore Sale now, so it's so not a good time for being broke.

[News.ipodworld.co.uk] iPod shuffle: So how does it fit into the ever expanding iPod family? The older iPods were like an advanced alien breed landing on the planet of the hard disk player, and their evolution has led to the continuation and advancement of successful features from previous models, while the shuffle is more like a rogue strain of flash memory stick/mp3 player set to cannibalise both markets. It is the mutation rather than continuation of the portable music player trend, and hence will make up a different consumer segment than the iPod.

 [Tamspalm.blogspot.com] Tam Hanna's Palm OS Blog: Looking at the ipod shuffle from a PDA view: Most PDA users always take the standard approach to listenting to music-they create a playlist from the files installed on the memory card, then select their favourite file/the first file and select the music that they want to hear. However, the ipod shuffle user takes an entirely different view. He has the machine select a few files from his collection and then play them in random order. He has no real means of influencing the sequence of the songs, etc-his ears are exposed to the Apple machine....

[Engadget.com] The iPod shuffle: Do not eat in the US or chew in the UK ...: You know how Apple made that weak joke on the product page for iPod shuffle advising that you “Do not eat iPod shuffle”? Yeah, well they make the same joke on the UK version of their website, except that across the pond it reads “Do not chew iPod shuffle.” Both are presumably a reference to the fact that the new player is about the size of pack of gum. Besides totally harshing our plans to consume at least one iPod shuffle at every meal for three weeks in attempt to convert ourselves into a cyborg, we’re also trying to figure out whether there is some weird cultural or language difference we weren’t aware of before that would explain this, especially since every American we’ve ever met has said “chew gum” rather than “eat gum.” Maybe they figure Brits are smart enough to spit out the iPod shuffle after they’ve nibbled on it, but that Americans aren’t and need that extra little bit of guidance?
