So tempted to get the 1gb one after Chinese New Year. Maybe during the IT Show 2005 from 10th March to 13th March 2005 at Suntec Suntec Exhibition Halls. The price is very reasonable considering last time I bought a 256mb iRiver mp3 player for around $300.

The only downside is that it lack display.

i got the ipod shuffle in my hands. its very small and has a pretty cute lanyard that strings through the usb cap. the usb plug has tiny ball bearings that keeps the usb cap in place and preventing it from falling out.

the quirky thing is that, within 3 days, ipod tight-skin is ready for launch soon. its like, what the hell, its crazy. within 3 days after launch, and they are coming up with the ipod shuffle skin protector.
