Hi All,

This is Mr.X. Again.

As some of you may notice the Apple Stores are down.

This is because of another product release.

iPod Shuffle 4GB Black

Product Code: MC164

Enjoy =)

Looks like Silver too:

iPod Shuffle 4GB Silver - MB867

Also appears to use a new interface of some sort as there is a new product code. MC003.

Well if I recall correctly this poster was correct about a recent update so I tend to believe this one as it's just a shuffle. It's a shame I already have two because a 4g black or silver would be kind of nice. (I use them at the gym)

"we"? I am not outraged by the latest apple slap-face update, I have the previous (8 core) mac pro and it was a steal by comparison.

This annoys me because I bought a 1GB shuffle hours ago. I'll return it tommorow and just say it's emmiting a high pitched sound of some sort (hah). If it's just capacity, then screw it. 4GB is great but for a shuffle, meh.

Interface? It's a freaking tiny clip O_O If it was changing design, it'd be a good addition at WWDC, not quietly at night. But it's already good enough. Can't think of much they could change.

That is all.

When the store comes back online. New iPod Shuffle 4GB in Black and Silver. It will use a new dock/sync cable.

If this really is true and Apple are releasing something new this week, there's been some sort of activity from Apple every week for the past month or more.

I'm amazed at their relentless pace. How long can they keep this going??

Unfortunately with the current exchange rate and adding 15% VAT $49 will be £42 so an extra £10 on the low end (unless there is a price drop in the US)
