From the article: "'The price of components have come down more than 70 percent, especially flash memory for the shuffle,' he said. 'And the price of the shuffle hadn't changed, so they were making a ton of profit off the shuffle. So they're passing some of those savings on.'"

    We don't need a motherfucking story anytime they release a slightly different product. Holy shit man.. this story is about how they are offering a 1gb player in a slightly different package. There are TONs of products that don't get any coverage that could actually spawn some, you know, discussion. Editors must all be massing Apple stock.. this fucking shit is getting stupid.
