iPod Shuffle On The Way Out Already?

Posted by Zonk on from the and-don't-come-back dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A CNN Money article, of all things, talks about the reasons Apple might have for getting rid of the iPod shuffle." From the article: "The shuffle may not be long for this world. The tiny MP3 player, a favorite of gym-goers, is cheap at $129, but lacks a screen. It may soon be replaced by a 1-gigabyte version of the iPod nano, according to UBS analyst Ben Reitzes. Currently, the smallest nano has 2 gigabytes of storage, enough for about 500 songs, and costs $199."

    That many batteries in a house? Must be a toddler nearby.

      Or one very lonely woman. ;)

    That's nice. I don't think the article mentions the fact that the shuffle becomes a personal floatation device in the event of a water related disaster.
