A smaller iPod shuffle coming?

ide buy it if they made it the size of a stick of gum, insted of a pack of gum

I say make it about the size of a regular-ass usb drive. what do i care? all i want is easy access to the controls and durability.

If they stay true to the Shuffle's premise, they could make it a lot smaller. The idea is, make it as small as possible with two limitations: be able to work the controls, and be able to hold plenty of songs (but not too many). Going over 1GB will never make sense for a shuffle, because of the limited access you have to the music. Making the shuffle just a tiny bit bigger and fitting a screen on it would make it a nano.

Sweet! It's gonna be the iPod flea!! (http://www.layersmagazine.com/press/ipodflea.php)

I would hope they'd get the size down to about the size of a SanDisk Cruizer Micro. I was disappointed with how big they were when they first came out, having assumed they'd be no bigger than my Cruizer Mini. Yup, something the size of the Micro would be great. However- I do keep loosing my Nano (it's so thin that it easily hides under stuff)

How small is too small? What is it going to be... like the size of a stick of gum now?

I think the shuffle could easily be shorter, imagine if the shuffle was the length of the ipod remote... I would hesistate to make it any thinner, for I would begin to worry about the likelyhood of it simply cracking in half.

I would love to see a small screen added to the shuffle, thinner would definitely be cool.
