lame

Yeah, I'm unimpressed. Looks like a flop to me. As well as the Mac mini (http://www.apple.com/macmini/).

Holy crap, that is the worst idea in history. It's selling point is teh randomness? Can't you do that with a regular ipod anyway?

[Tron]

Uhm... Yup. To both questions. Looks like the inevitable slide from the top has begun.

I think the idea is that it's more affordable.

Edit: also, I agree. It sucks.

The point is that this is a small ipod for things like running and the gym. The randomness is not in the playback (well it is there too but all ipods have that), it is when you connect to your computer it picks randoms songs from your collection for you. If you don't want that you can specify exactly what you want. I have paid too much attention to flash mp3 players but the price seems pretty decent.
