Bought a black one yesterday, then it shipped YESTERDAY and will be delivered (for FREE) on Friday!

Weird thing - it shipped from PA!!! Never heard of Apple shipping for PA before, thought it was always CA or overseas???

And Apple has found away to ship into the future- Ship via FedEx from China!

listening to my new 1gig shuffle currently (The Who) which I got for education discount for 89$. What a deal!!

Is sad how some people just don't learn and keep spouting the same nonsense hoping one day it will be genius. News to you people...it never will be genius.

This whole music/price ratio argument has zero bearing on buyers. It had no impact on the iPod mini and none on the original nanos. So stop making this argument. It doesn't work.

What is important is price point, price point, price point. If someone only can afford a $149 player, it doesn't really matter if the $199 player is better. And if someone only ever listens to 5-6 albums at any given time, then 2GB is overkill. Why would they want to spend an extra $50 for GB of RAM they'll never use?

This new price point will all but seal the iPods complete domination of the market. There is no reason to buy any other player now since their is truly an iPod for every budget.

If there is anything disappointing with the news of the 1GB player it's that there probably won't be a 6 or 8GB nano anytime soon.

Very intelligent response.

Its so silly how people sit here for 8 pages asking "who would buy that, or why would you buy x and not y?" When ipod sales reach far beyond the average mac nerd that post here, myself included. The ability to think about consumer behavior beyond ..what you would do.. is crucial.

This is the reason many ppl here are consumers and not behind a desk making any important decisions.

Just bought one

Aaahhh, I just checked. I bought it on Feb 28 2005, just less than the 1 year warranty!
Apple is presently shipping a replacement!

Just got it yesterday, man i forgot how small these things are. The lanyard headphones have got to be the greatest Ipod accesory of all time, never again will my earplugs fall out. Anyone want to buy a nano tube i got four colours

An interesting move.

I'm a Shuffle (512) owner though and I'm very pleased with it so I certainly wouldn't want to see it dropped. I listen to it every day at work (where it's also used as a memory stick) and autofill it every evening. Suits me just fine. A Nano would be overkill for me to be honest. I'd only listen to it on shuffle anyway, and I'd be worried when its rattling around in my pocket with my keys and loose change. No memory stick function either.

It's not a replacement for a fully featured player, but it has its own uses.

One of the great options that iTunes gives you with the Shuffle is to automatically convert your music to 128kbps as you move it to the Shuffle. It lets me keep my music in lossless in iTunes and I fit 5X more information on my Shuffle than I would otherwise.

So will this option be available on the 1GB nano? If so, it would fit as much for me as the larger Nano. Sure the quality isn't as good at 128, but I don't care when I'm commuting.

I have the same question as ripflash. Does anyone know? I'm going to guess no, because the only reason the shuffles have it is because they CAN'T play lossless. If the 1gig nano can't do this, I could store what... 20 songs on it? I use only lossless.

Is there a way to trick iTunes into downsampling onto any iPod?

Nope, but it shouldn't be to hard for Apple to include this for the Nano and other iPods. They already have it for the shuffle...

I only listen to Lossless to so this would be an invaluable feature for me in iTunes.
