iPod Shuffle?


Uh, oh. I was wrong.

Turns out, when I went to the Mac store to check out the Mac Mini, which will soon inhabit my Mini Cooper and my living room (to keep the Tivo company), I played with the iPod Shuffle. I was pretty suspicious that the shuffle feature was just a way to justify the lack of a display and I figured that a plastic little gizmo was cheap, not elegant.

I was wrong. Everyone I saw was talking about how they listen to music on shuffle anyway and everyone I saw was buying an iPod Shuffle. I'm going to buy one, though I don't see me using the shuffle feature. That ain't me.

It was wonderful to fiddle with and infinitely more sturdy feeling than it looked to me in photos online. It is a wonderful gadget. Get one. But, by the time you do, I'll have one. That IS me.
