New iPod Shuffle lineup comes in colors (again)

Among all the updates to the iPod lineup today, this one might have gotten lost in the... well, I'm not gonna say it, but you know what I mean. It would seem that January's iPod Shuffle color choices were so nine months ago; the new Shuffles are stumbling in with a somewhat more subdued, 'pro' palette and adding a Product (RED) version that sends a contribution to fight HIV/AIDS in Africa.
The new Shuffles are retailing for $79 and include 1 GB of flash storage. Get them before they change again!

Two thumbs down on the colours - I even like pastels sometimes, but the wishy washy lavender and aqua do scream late 80s/early 90s! And the green and blue are so similar, I wonder what the point of having both is? As a fan of pinks and purples, I don't think I could live with the too-blue-lavender. Where are the warm colours?!?!
Sure the red is pretty nice but even it seems to lack a certain punch. Ditto for the nanos, I'd loved to have tried one out but I am really unimpressed with the pallet (and I am unashamedly severely influenced by the colour of my gadgets).
Yuck. Those new colours are quite the eyesores - even though they're pastel. The red one is nice but man, sure hope there are orange ones around somewhere.

Those colors remind me of 1988.
