20 million? maybe, maybe not. BUT being way out front of everybody else??? WHAT THE F***? IT'S A F*CKIN* USB STICK MP3 PLAYER! it's not even the first to ditch the display.
ten years ago it would have been proof of some ic company being wayy ahead of curve.
no offence but it doesn't really offer anything new - similar things have been available for.. five years? even a wristwatch with the same functionality has been available for at least a year or so. the rio i started with is more pleasing than the shuffle(better ui than just buttons - the jogwheel really hit the spot when scrolling the settings and looking for a song, display and an equalizer to boost bass if you feel like it) - and i bought it in _2000_(and runs for hours on a single AA).
(unless you count it being apple and thus integrated into itunes and it's store as a one feature.. in which case you could count apple the one not interfacing with others instead of vice versa).
oh yeah.. it's a iProduct so it must be better? though how will the normal people feel about apple after they realise that it's not perfect in every way despite that they were told so? apple should get going on getting something truly new before going into a slump again(instead, apple is being very conservative in what it's doing and doesn't seem to be wanting another newton.. a shame.).
