For one, I know a lot of people who already are going crazy over this. Second, I can't wait to purchase another one, seeing as the nano is now cheaper and so is the regular ipod. I think the designs are awesome. Their competitors, are none, seeing as Apple has made a fashion statement out of iPods rather than musical necessities. To tell you truth, once the iPod keeps looking like they are now, people are going to keep getting them, because it's the trend of today. Of course in time it will die down, but as with everything else. So, right now. This is Apple's time to shine, and they are doing it extremely bright. I have to disagree with this post.

The biggest thing you have failed to mention are the massive price cuts IN ADDITION to capacity increases. Yes, they have combined the best bits of the iPod mini into the iPod nano line, but there is nothing wrong with that. There is new software for searching on your iPod. Much better (doubled) battery life. New games. New iPod to iTunes uploading / syncing. Brighter screens. Better resolution downloads. New headphones. These are solid updates to already excellent - best in class - devices. Also, you are missing the point on the size and the radio. The who point of the shuffle is its size. I imagine a lot of people wear these during sports, and this makes it nicer and safer. If you want a "butch" iPod, but the 80GB one. Also, Apple will never include a radio built in to an iPod. Not having a radio is the entire point of any iPod. You want to listen to your music, when you want to. It is a pointless frippery that Apple does not have to include. For those people, like you it seems, who want one, then you can always buy the Apple Radio / Remote, which adds this functionality. It is interesting that Zune has a screen that is only 0.5" bigger than the iPod, but it has the same resolution. It also won't have video playback when it launches. Apple have consistently been ahead of the curve with the iPod, and I don't see a reason why that isn't going to continue. I have to disagree.

Sandisk and M$ will start to eat at thier market. I think Apple dropped the ball on this one, and they probable wont have another product upgrade for a year.
