1GB iPod nano for $149

I don't know yet if this is the only reason the Apple Store was down earlier today, but in any case, they've just announced a new 1GB iPod nano for $149 and the iPod shuffle now starts at $69 for the 512MB model and $99 for the 1GB model. I would have preferred a $99 1GB iPod nano and that they just trash the 1GB shuffle, but, whatever...

I should clarify: I mean the death of the shuffle as we know it. I think they will either revamp the shuffle (but still no screen, maybe colors or something), or kill it off entirely.

Story of the day: A Shuffle for under 50 quid. That's more like it Apple!
I wanted scabes, but hey, we can't always get what we want. Kinda like that song?

I think that's the dumbest statement I've seen in a TUAW post.
Also, I'm not sure the Shuffle will be killed. The 512 Mb Shuffle is $80 cheaper than the 1Gb Nano. And's there's definitely people out there who choose smaller and cheaper in preference to having a screen.
I think this means the end of the shuffle in the very near future, which is too bad, because I really like having an iPod to listen to without worrying about scratches.

Wow I just received my 1 GB ipod shuffle that I won recently in the mail yesterday. Planning on selling it I checked ebay to see what I could get for it.
Now I guess it is apparently much less.....great....
anyone wanna buy it off me?
GRRRR...THE 1GB isn't available on the canadian store yet, any one know about other international stores?
