It’s pretty cool how important the ipod is. I also want to agree on the 1 gig shuffle, but then either when that day comes or later they will come out with another to keep the “3” family.
If they don’t it will look like they are downsizing.

NO! Just add a screen to the Shuffle. I’m sure I’m in the minority here, but that’s what I would like to see happen.

“NO! Just add a screen to the Shuffle. I’m sure I’m in the minority here, but that’s what I would like to see happen.”
Uh, then Apple would have to change the name because the whole point of the Shuffle was that you had to shuffle through your songs.

Well, Nobody, you can still shuffle with a screen. Just look at the nano and iPod video. They have screens and shuffle right on the main menu.
