iPod shuffle must be selling really well!

[3Memos]

i have a 3G 20gig... it's great but sometimes i just want something small to take with me and the shuffle will be great... just waiting for my 512mb one to ship... apple's website says "on or before 1/21/05"

I'll also be getting a 512MB version. The 1GB version seems like too many songs to shuffle through or skip through especially if you want to memorize the songs. The next logical step seems to be from 512MB to 4GB and then to 20GB.

If you owned a previous iPod, then this one makes sense for people who need it for what it does. But I can understand your apprehension in getting this type of screenless iPod if it's your first one.

Maybe you misunderstood my post? I have a 3G ipod and an iPod photo, but have no use for a screenless iPod. Generally, I'm in the mood for a specific song and wouldn't want my music shuffled. I think it's a great product that will sell well and certainly agree that it makes sense for some people. My brother feels it is perfect for his wife, who also has a pink iPod mini.

You might find it useful for exercising and running at least, right? I think that's the primary target since it is flash-based. Have a screen and clickwheel to navigate through 120 songs on the 512MB models seems almost overkill, and would make it roughly the same size as the iPod mini, unless they shrunk it, which would mean it being harder to use. That's Steve Jobs justification anyway. I have a 2G 20gb iPod and iPod mini, and I will be getting the shuffle if and when it does get here.

WTF

My local apple store is having an invitation only iPod Shuffle release. I got an invitation in the mail. They get them in Monday and everyone with an invitation get can get on Monday for $99. So when 10am on Monday rolls around, that's where I'll be.

I have spent more than 8g's (money USD) at my local apple store in the past 2 years. Where is my special inviation????

They must of got a s*** load of orders!

Here is some further evidence that Apple has another hit on its hands. Check out Amazon.com's list of early adopters in electronics:

1) 1 GB shuffle
2) 512 MB shuffle
5) Shuffle battery pack
8) Shuffle dock
9) Shuffle sport case
23) Shuffle armband

Not bad since this list is based entirely on orders placed. I also figure that most hard-core Mac fans, like many of us, would have simply ordered directly from Apple, so I would think these orders represent more of the "general" public.

A local store is doing a promotion where all MP3 players have 15% off until 25/1. That makes it the cheapest place in the country to get a Shuffle. However, they don't currently have any in stock

Smells like a bait and switch.

I can still place an order on their site and be eligible for the discount

Which store? Might have to check that out.. My 15 gig 3G seems a bit small...

By the time the iPod shuffle is in any stores around here I'll have enough money saved to buy a real iPod.
