i don't know about india/asia, but here in america, where apple is located, the price is very nice; most 512mb players come in between $100 and $150, 1gb is even more. the ipod is no ripoff.

yeah im sure the price should be pretty decent here

same as in the US, just in canadian dollars perhaps?

512MB 100$ US = 120$ CAD?

never thought to look at apple store canada.. hmm 129$ :)

WHAT ONLY USB CHARGING ..................... FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

[neocyber_16]

Just curious but if the brand name wasn't apple but some other alternative name (like generic) and the price was the same, would you still buy it?

what about with the dock?

The iPod shuffle Dock is an elegant home base for charging and synching with your computer. Simply plug the dock into the USB port on your computer or the optional iPod USB Power Adapter to get started.

Supports iPod shuffle.

i think the best flashed based mp3 players are the Nomad Muvo NX/TX players. They are just like a thumb drive, with a screen that hook up to a battery thing. I think they are amazing, and you don't need to cary around a flash drive as well. I am thinkin of getting one of the 512mb players, awesome awesome awesome. Those iPod flash things look like crap.

this is classic rip off

SO I HAVE TO carry a computer on my back with on travell or running or picnic to dock it with USB port to charge rIPOD shuffle

[zachman123]

Or buy an expensive power adapter. So now we see the catch....

[casanova]

i dunno

a portable drive that plays mp3 for 99 or 150 for 1 gig

doesnt sound bad to me

[blackice912 Veteran]

Heck, I'd pick one up just to use as a thumb drive! :p

USB Power Adapter

Charge your iPod shuffle when there?s no computer around.

[djgramma]

Isn't there an adapter for a car lighter with two USB ports to let you charge through USB? I'm too lazy (I mean busy :whistle: ) to look for it...

This is going to be fun...

Remember 1GB does not hold many (hundreds) of songs

240 is the number stated by Apple. 239 clicks away from that song!

iPod was never cool in your eyes and it will never be. I'd suggest you stop trolling all the iPod threads.

Maybe I do tend to "troll" the iPod threads, but then I don't troll them without anything to back up my differing opinions - such as the evidence of better products. But whatever, go buy 20 Tampods, after all - you'll be a member of Jobs' brigade of heroes. XtremeSniper's image summed it all up really. So...

well i have heard that they will be releasing a new remote with a screen on it (or is one already off, i dont use remotes)

Wow - that'll be another ?30 into Apple's pocket. Why can't they provide these accessories as stanard, a la iRiver?

But it will sell, because it's SUPER COOL!!!!!

Or will it. Will the public REALLY be this duped by the colour and label - or will it fall flat on its face, like the iPod Photo?

Tampods

That's where I stopped reading that pathetic excuse for a post :rolleyes:

You can get 512mb thumbdrives for about $30 now ...

Its ashame that you cant be more open minded and stop being such a lil **** ant, heh. Is it really that hard to make an educated opinion without interjecting your stereotypes ever other word. Its really pathetic. Look this product is meant for some people and not others. Go with your iRiver, no one is stopping you. People may want the shuffle or a regular but that doesnt make them bad people, its a difference of opinion. I bet that if this was a creative product or soemthing else, you wouldnt open your mouth and perhaps even be praising it, but because its apple, that makes it evil and something bad. Get over it and accept that people have different needs and opinions.

[PureEdit]

I really like the shuffle, for 120-240 songs, you really dont need a screen. I have a g3 10gb iPod already, but I would have gone for one of these if I didn't.

When using my iPod, I almost always just select a playlist and press play. I dont care about the order.

The shuffle does just this, but you have to select the playlist on your computer, not on the device. Seems like a good idea to me.

I have absolutely nothing against Apple, its the iPod and it's legendary status that p*sses me off. I dont see where my stereotypes come into it - as far as the WORLD can see they're true. Apple reported 525% increase in iPod sales - tell me: is it just coincidence or has the mass-hype provided by the media caused a "little" boost in sales.

Once a thing of grace and coolness, the iPod now rests in the world of burberry and shell suits :no:

And don't deny it - the iPod Photo was a failure!

Many share the same view as me, but hell I went ahead and said it.

So you believe everything listed on Apple's website. Gimme a break. You also believe that their G5's performance figures. hah :rolleyes: OWNED.

I know a lot of people here @ Neowin have iRiver players and love it. They dont go on trolling in every iPod thread like you. Maybe the mods should take this issue up.

That's where I stopped reading that pathetic excuse for a post :rolleyes:

Seriously, he trolls in EVERY iPod thread.

And hence you troll in EVERY iPod thread. :rolleyes:

585282447[/snapback]

failure ? Granted it is not selling like hotcakes but is that what Apple intended when they set it a pricetag of $499. I think your take is ... Many people can afford $499 and hence it will should sell like hotcakes. :wacko:

Many share the same view as me, but hell I went ahead and said it.

585282447[/snapback]

No, many people might share the same view with you but nobody's ****ed off like you and goes on trolling here.

The idea behind the iPod shuffle is really good actually. I can't remember the last time I browsed for a song on my iPod mini. I've used "Shuffle Songs" ever since that firmware update allowed it.

[oddcrap]

I've been playing with this ipod shuffle for about an hour now; at first I was skeptical because of the lack of display, the emphasis on 'random' play, and the overly simplistic design (this thing is really just a plastic flash keychain all ipodded up). But now I understand- your musical interface is basically invisible and there are no decisions to make. By the way- floods of people were streaming in as I left the Apple store and several employees at the door were handing out shuffles from boxes by the dozens. People were buying 3, 4, 5 of these things at a time. Amazing what a brand can make people do.

I might get this only because it's a USB drive, i've got an iPod already, but i've always wanted a stylish Apple USB Flash Drive.

[eastblu]

i completely love the ipod shuffle. i love how it has no screen. that's probably the best part. the screen would probably take hours off of the battery life. And I love the simplicity of it. There are not many switches or buttons, and you can autofill your ipod and set it on shuffle. I love how light and small it is and how apple is moving this towards its "sport" ipod. i think i may just get one for myself for athletic purposes and use my 3g ipod for non-athletic stuff. 2 thumbs up on my view.

I just ordered an iPod shuffle and an iPod shuffle AAA battery extender. I couldn't resist the size (1 cubic inch), the software (iTunes is the best), and the iTunes Music Store support (I got some iTMS songs for Christmas). Plus, with the AAA battery extender I now have a total rated battery life of 32 hours. :)
