iPod Shuffle Drops To $49.00
The 1GB iPod Shuffle had been dropped to $49, and Apple is soon adding a 2GB model that will reportably sell for $69. The only reason I prefer a different brand of player over the iPod is because of the iTunes requirement. But then again, I seem to be in the minority. Regardless, you can’t hardly find a decent MP3 player any cheaper.
“The new 1GB iPod shuffle is available immediately for a suggested retail price of $49 (US) through the Apple Store (www.apple.com), Apple’s retail stores and Apple Authorized Resellers. The 2GB iPod shuffle will be available later this month for a suggested retail price of $69 (US) through the Apple Store (www.apple.com), Apple’s retail stores and Apple Authorized Resellers. iPod shuffle requires a Mac with a USB 2.0 port, Mac OS X 10.4.8 or later and iTunes 7.4; or a Windows PC with a USB 2.0 port and Windows Vista or Windows XP Home or Professional (Service Pack 2) or later and iTunes 7.4 or later.”
