I think this proves that a new shuffle comes at MWSF.

Lacero said:Stocks of shuffles and iPod nanos are all constrained. Maybe Apple should not have discontinued the minis so prematurely as some units are fetching $350 or more on eBay.
ZorPrime said:Really good point. It would have been nice to see the iPod mini phased out instead of dropped, especially since the mini had a higher storage capacity. It's still nice to see robust sales for Apple's products.
d_and_n5000 said:Say it with me now-New Shuffles next Tuesday! Black & White, more capacity, etc. Which also means-more capacity for Nanos!!!! Who's with me?
iGary said:I'd buy a silver mini over a nano any day.
ZorPrime said:Count me in! Higher capacity Nanos would be really nice, especially since the mini had more space. I'd get a Nano right now, if it had 6 or 8 gigs of space. As soon as it does, I'm there.
Shouldn't that be in the Marketplace?iGary said:Anybody want to buy my shuffle for $500.00?

I know some that would buy a 4GB nano for that price at the moment though, very hard to get hold of.
I prefer my shuffle to my nano. I will be getting another shuffle, only if they bump up capacity and make the edges chamfered, battery life longer, and wee bit smaller.p0intblank said:I will get a shuffle one of these days...
