iPod Shuffle comes in colors
This morning's Apple Store downtime was chromatically inspired: the iPod Shuffle now comes in five colors, same as the Nano but with orange substituting for black. Is it just me, or are these the same colors as the gumdrop iMacs? No "grape," but otherwise pretty close.Now your Valentine can have a Shuffle to match his/her soulful eyes. Even after a weekend-long bender.
Thanks to everyone who sent a heads-up on the store downtime and the new Shuffles.

Just wondering, are they going to put iPod video into colors too?

Most people are already complaining about the lack of black. But I myself quite fancy Orange, it's that I don't need yet another iPod but else I would buy it.. maybe I still will just for the collection. I really like that they did this and to be honest I didn't see it coming, alltho most of their products are multi-coloured now-a-days.

The (red) nano seems to go better as a Vday gift.

apparently not. maybe when they release the aluminum videos-but they'll likely release the phoneless wide/touchscreen video iPod first.
anyone else think that apple orginally planned to release the color shuffles during the superbowl, but then moved up the date to mess with the vista launch?

jopari - How is a iPod Shuffle colour option going to mess with the Vista launch? I would hope Apple have something bigger to launch at the the Superbowl.

Well I've just bought the 802.11n updater and it won't install on my machine - it says my volume doesn't meet the requirements - yet it's a brand new MacBook Pro.....doh!
Lucky it was only £1.25 ;-)

Doh! Auto update just ran and sorted the problem :-)

How did you find the pictures of the gumdrop iMacs? I can't come across them searching Apple's PR section at all.

Hey, i just bought a shuffle last week :( But I'm okay with silver, and I have a question about charging it, it doesn't seem to charge from my 4 port usb hub when the laptop is off? The hub is plugged into power as well as my macbook pro, do hubs not charge things like the shuffle?
