At only US $99, or AUD $119, the new Shuffle is radically different from the 1st-gen model. Appearing more like a book of matches than the stick of gum that was Shuffle gen-1, it incorporates a handy clip, a hidden hinge and only one socket that amazingly handles power, headphones and synchronising with ease. It’s remarkable because competing players have all kinds of sockets, buttons and larger sizes. Yet while the 2nd-gen Shuffle still has no screen, it will likely sell millions over the holiday season as the most affordable and stylish iPod yet. With 1Gb of memory, the new Shuffle can store approximately 250 songs. It will also ship with Apple’s newly improved iPod headphones. However in an effort to dramatically reduce packaging, no iTunes CD is included within. You are instead directed to Apple’s website to download software instead.
