Just thought i'd post some 'real' world pics and comparison to Nano and 5G.
Can confirm old style iPod earphones with the foam pads included not the newer ones. The build quality is very solid, is same material as new iPod nanos, though i imagine will pick up scratches from keys etc.. quite easily, though what do you expect. Plugs into the dock very nicely with the usual apple satisfying click of their connectors. The sliding buttons (shuffle/power off/on) are easy to use, can use it blindly very easily. The clip is VERY sturdy, i really can't see it falling off that easily, attatches to the bottom of my t-shirt very nicely, it just attatches nicely to everything. It's light, but still has some weight, it definately won't pull off your earphones, especially if they are in-ear, i can hang them quite easily.
Overall i can really see this being the No.1 stocking filler this Xmas, they are going to be huge (in a small kind of way
[kill me now]), people are going to want one without even knowing what they do, they are that sexy. I imagine you could snap off the clip, to make for a seriously tiny MP3 player, but you would have to be mental to do that (and very strong).
added pic of my sister modelling the shuffle as a hairclip/mp3 player as suggested by prady16. though she wouldn't be seen dead like that, she says it is perfectly feasible
