Apple is making the shuffle even smaller.

That’s pretty cool; though I’d almost be afraid of losing it. For some perspective, be sure to check out the 7 stages of iPod ownership.

    iPod mania really gets my goat. As far as I am concerned, the only unique thing about them is their designs (which I admit are nice), but talk about vendor lock-in!

    If I had that kind of money, I’d buy the latest GP2X with the faster processors, and a bunch of SDRAM cards.

    Yes… very nice designs. The vendor lock-in stinks, but it will be interesting to follow Jon Johansen’s new venture (DVD Jon has broken the iTunes DRM and is basing a company around his workaround… IANAL, but some out there are (again) predicting imminent legal crucifixion…).

    Also, I believe you can overwrite iPod firmware to do a variety of things… a co-worker of mine has his iPod hacked so it plays ogg files… ;-)
