I'm sorry, but that statement is just ignorant. If you recall, Hong Kong was in fact the first country to actually convict someone for illegal file sharing via bit torrent. As well as that, the vast, vast majority of people here are perfectly legal, and buy things either directly from Apple, or from resellers. Simply because a small minority of people choose to buy things in an unethical manner does not mean that all of a sudden, everyone here just goes around stealing everything we get. And how do we all have backward minds? If that were the case, would China be the booming economic hub that it is today?
Yes, some people here steal things and ignore copyright laws. But to generalise and say that over a billion people think and act like that is simply wrong. Every place has some bad apples, but don't let that distort your interpretation of an entire region, especially one as large and diverse as China.
That's because the day after October 31st is November 1st, not October 32nd!
woops sorry i ment november 7th! i forgot the 7 and the edit button wont let me edit my post
sry
I'm going to wait until Tesco have them in stock, I can have it right away without any real waiting pain. Plus I'll also get it with 10% off. In effect I'm still getting the student discount but with the staff discount card! Btw I work in an Tesco Extra store so its no sweat for somebody to hold one back for me!

Such a cool MP3 Player
I really like the design of the 2G iPod Shuffle with only one exception; the 1G Shuffle could double as a USB flash "thumb" drive, this one cannot (unless you carry the dockling around with it). If it weren't for that, I'd buy one in a heartbeat.
As for the single port that works as a headphone jack, data jack, and charger jack, that is very, very cool. I wish they'd incorporate that into all the iPods. It would make for some very neat peripherals!

They're really tempting for me, too, but I've been eyeing the new nanos for awhile; I'll be upgrading from the last of the monochrome 4G as soon as I can find the money!
i was just about to ask in this thread if anyone had gotten theirs since it is almost the end of oct!!!!! I think apple should have said ships in Nov! I wonder what the problem is in getting them shipped so late.
It is a cool connector but it's not unique, I think MobiBlu use the same sort of thing for their little Cube music player.
The Dock Connector is owned by Apple and they can make money off anybody wanting to use it. It's also widespread so suddenly changing the connector is going to reeeeally tick the manufacturers off.
my new shuffle has shipped!!
Update: Well as of 10/31 FedEx reports that my shuffle has landed in the USA and will be here tomorrow at 4:30pm!! For the person inquiring about order dates, mine was 9/13.

Tried that and it didn't work. Shuffles shows up on the computer, updates, fills with songs, then when I try to use it, it's completely dead.
Nice... mine's due by the 3rd as well. Chalk up another victory for Apple in the war against my wallet. Although, this one I don't feel so bad about. Vide iPod for long trips, and as a backup for my library, and sexy new Shuffle for walking around the city. Can't complain too much for $79. Hardly a fortune for a great little player.

Ordered mine September 17 as well and got my shipping notice today. I'm sure it's partially to do with geography, and partially random.
Once the initial rush is over I might pick one of these up. I bought running cases and the likes for my iPod mini but the whole screen thing just annoyed me. This will be absolutely perfect for jogging. IF they put a radio in there I wouldn't wait for the rush to be over.
really? yeah maybe the east coast is getting them first (i live in arizona)
well congrats on it!, hope you love it
If that report is true I wouldn't be surprised that Apple ends up selling quite a lot of Silver-case 2 GB iPod nanos because there will be serious shortages of the new 2G iPod Shuffle.
