Pretty cool, especially for the $79 price.

So what about people who can’t wear those headphones? How are they supposed to change songs etc?

What about the new iPod Pico? At about the size of a grain of rice, it’s too small to have a headphone jack, so it beams the music directly into your brain.

I couldn’t find in the article what the storage space was. “Up to 1,000 songs” means nothing to me.

I see Apple is getting closer to it's ultimate goal, which is to build an implantable device which will turn weak minded people into mindless slaves. These mindless slaves will lose all common sense and will buy everything that Apple develops without regard to price while taking orders from Steve Jobs. These mindless slaves will also go forth and shout the Apple message while defending Apple and Steve Jobs from criticism.
OH WAIT! They have had this for years now.

“Imagine your music player talking to you, telling you your song titles, artists and playlist names,” said Greg Joswiak, Apple’s vice president of iPod and iPhone Product Marketing, in the press release. “The amazingly small new iPod shuffle takes a revolutionary approach to how you listen to your music by talking to you, also making it the first iPod shuffle with playlists.”
Maybe it’s just me, but I would rather see what song I’m picking and not wait for some robotic communicator to tell it to me. 1,000 songs are a lot to go through to find the one you want.
Plus, I would never pay $79 for that little thing, when you can get a decent MP3 player with a screen for $40. (Just bought one for my husband).
I have a hand-me-down 30GB iPod. I waited for my brother to get bored with his and go buy the Touch before I purchased anything from Apple. I don’t even use iTunes. they aren’t getting any of my money.

But that's just a guess on my part.

4GB. Pretty amazing how small it is for that amount of memory.

Do they also have an implantable device to put into others that turns them into mindless drones to hate everything Apple does? They have had those for years as well.

Silly me,
I was going on the sign at my local Sam’s club advertising the 30 GIG IPOD as “30G IPOD”.
Oh well, I didn’t buy that one and probably won’t buy this one either.

They won’t be happy until its so small you constantly loose it.

I am so steeped in 3G work that I didn’t even interpret it to mean GIG. Doh!

Okay, Mr. Fierro, I'll admit it — I'm addicted to iPods and iPhones! :-)
